   Paul Stier closes his Catalpa Avenue row with a store-and-flats building at 60th Street

   Around 1909 Paul Stier built this three-story building with a shop at street level and apartments above, filed under the same New Building application, 1378-1909, as the 17 flats buildings beside it, 59-04 to 59-36. Louis Berger & Company designed it in orange brick with rough-faced brown brick bands, a pedimented door hood on brackets and a cornice trimmed with egg-and-dart molding and festoons. Its second address is 68-56 60th Street.

2. 1914

   A 1914 map shows shops on both street fronts of 59-38 Catalpa Avenue

   According to the 1914 Sanborn map cited in the landmarks report, the building had storefronts on both Catalpa Avenue and 60th Street by that year. Before 1940 the original shopfront on the main, east facade was taken out and filled with brick, leaving two windows with limestone sills and lintels. A brick-faced one-story garage was also added on the lot between 1914 and 1940.
