This two-family house on Block 3515, Lot 44 went up about 1908 for Paul Stier under new-building application 1766 of that year, one of 23 houses between 60-03 and 60-47 69th Avenue. Louis Berger & Company gave it tan iron-spot brick, a rounded two-story bay, classical porch columns and a historic wood post beside the stoop. Later changes include replacement stoop and porch railings, metal kickplates on the entrance doors and a flagpole mount on a porch column.

1925
Foxall Street, where this house stands, is renamed 69th Avenue as Queens adopts numbered streets
When this house was built its street was called Foxall Street. In 1925 the Board of Aldermen renamed most streets in the Ridgewood area, carrying out a plan begun in 1911 under Queens Borough President Maurice E. Connolly to end the duplicate street names that had caused confusion since the 1898 consolidation, and Foxall Street became 69th Avenue. Nearby, Elm Avenue became Catalpa Avenue and Anthon Avenue became 60th Street.
