    This house belongs to one of three neighboring 1908 rows, including 60-01 to 60-49 70th Avenue, that Paul Stier built with full-width front porches. As designed by Louis Berger & Company, the porches were open wood platforms on brick columns, reached by graystone stoops with cast-iron newels and wrought-iron rails, with wood railings and molded roofs on Tuscan columns, much like Berger's houses on nearby Stockholm Street. Many, including this one, have since been altered.

    “Three adjacent rows, all constructed in 1908, have these porches: 60-02 to 60-54 69th Avenue, 60-01 to 60-49 69th Avenue, and 60-01 to 60-49 70th Avenue.”
