Paul Stier, the owner and builder, put up this two-family house on lot 42 of block 3515 under new-building application 1766 of 1908. Louis Berger & Company drew the plans for the two-story Renaissance Revival house, one of 23 two-family homes from 60-03 to 60-47 69th Avenue, with store-and-flats buildings at 60-01 and 60-49. Its front is tan iron-spot brick trimmed with rough-faced gray brick and limestone.

Landmark survey finds 60-21's cornice and stoop intact but its porch columns swapped for iron supports
Read more
When the Central Ridgewood Historic District was designated in December 2014, the commission's profile of this house noted that its rounded two-story bay, stoop and modillioned cornice with festoons and egg-and-dart molding survived. The porch had changed: its columns had given way to one short column and two wrought-iron supports, its floor and substructure had been rebuilt in new brick, and the space beneath it had been filled in, with a door and a water-meter reader.
