Louis Berger & Company designed this two-family house, built about 1908 for builder Paul Stier, one of 23 on its side of the block between 60-03 and 60-47, in orange iron-spot brick with gray brick bands and a modillioned cornice. Later alterations rebuilt its porch and basement pier in brick, took out the central porch pier to fit a basement garage with a roll-up door and a ramp, and added a new entrance behind the stoop; a "no parking" sign hangs on the porch above the garage.
“…central porch pier removed to enable creation of basement garage; "no parking" sign on porch face above garage…”

Stier builds this house with load-bearing brick walls, as Ridgewood's rows required after 1905

Most houses in what is now the Central Ridgewood Historic District went up after 1905, when the fire rules that made attached rows be built of masonry were extended to Ridgewood. Like the other brick buildings in the district, this house carries its weight on brick walls, made with Kreischer brick that builders combined in red, buff, amber and brown shades from house to house or row to row, mostly with Renaissance Revival detailing.
“Most of the houses in the district were built after 1905 when the fire codes requiring masonry construction for attached rows were extended into Ridgewood.”
