Around 1908 builder Paul Stier put up this two-family house on lot 14 of block 3516 under new-building application 349-1908. Louis Berger & Company drew the plans for the Renaissance Revival front, with its full-height curved bay and a cornice of egg-and-dart, consoles and swags. The house is one of 23 two-family row houses and a flats building on 69th Avenue from 60-02 to 60-48.

By 2014, 60-28 has a basement garage entered through the base of its porch
The Landmarks commission's 2014 profile of 60-28 recorded a non-historic garage entrance in the base of the porch, with a concrete driveway leading to a garage in the basement and two light fixtures beside its door. The house's stoop had been combined with that of 60-26 next door, and a new doorway had been cut in the side wall under the stoop. The curved bay and original cornice remained.
