Builder Paul Stier put up this two-family house around 1908 under new-building application 1766 of that year. It stands on lot 41 of block 3515, one of 23 two-family houses from 60-03 to 60-47 69th Avenue designed by Louis Berger & Company. The front is orange iron-spot brick, set off by rough-faced gray brick stringcourses and rough-faced limestone lintels over the windows.

The Landmarks commission's 2014 profile listed a classical porch column and brick support piers among the significant features of 60-23, along with its rounded bay and festooned cornice. Other parts had changed: the stoop's newel posts were gone and its railings replaced, a porch column had become a wrought-iron support, and the main entrance had been given a new frame with a sidelight, a transom and a classical surround.
