1908
Kilian Schurger ends his 69th Avenue row with a house on its own permit
Built around 1908 as part of the row running from 59-03 to 59-35, this two-family house was filed under its own permit, number 1026 of 1908. Louis Berger & Company gave it orange iron-spot brick, a full-height rounded bay and limestone lintels incised with stylized foliage, and its east side facade repeats the front design. The lot also holds a one-story orange brick garage, built before 1914, with a modillioned cornice ornamented like the house's.
