A corner two-family house goes up as a near copy of 59-40 69th Avenue
This two-family house on the corner of 60th Street dates from about 1909; its first owner is unknown. The Landmarks Preservation Commission credits the design to Louis Berger & Company, noting that it closely resembles the firm's neighboring row and is nearly identical to 59-40 69th Avenue. Its three-bay front, two of the bays curved, sits behind a rough-faced brownstone box stoop that keeps its original cast-iron newel posts and wrought-iron railings.
“…attributed to Louis Berger & Company, the architects for the adjacent row of houses, which it closely resembles, and of 59-40 69th Avenue, to which it is nearly exact.”
