Paul Stier was the first owner of this two-family house on Block 3516, Lot 8, built about 1908 under new-building application 349 of that year as one of 23 row houses and a flats building at 60-02 to 60-48. Berger's Renaissance Revival front has a full-height curved bay with rough-faced brick panels and stone lintels. At designation it still had its original porch, primary door and metal areaway fence and gate, though the porch base had been filled in between the old brick piers.

1908
Three adjacent Stier rows on 69th and 70th Avenues, including this one, get open wood porches
This house belongs to one of three neighboring rows built in 1908, one on 70th Avenue (60-01 to 60-49) and two facing each other across 69th Avenue (60-01 to 60-49 and 60-02 to 60-54), where Berger gave Stier's shallow-bay houses full-width porches. Like the porches in the nearby Stockholm Street Historic District, also by Louis Berger & Company, they were open wood structures on brick piers, roofed on Tuscan columns and approached by graystone stoops with iron newels and railings. Many 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…”
