  1. 1908

    60-29 70th Avenue is built in one of three adjacent 1908 rows with open front porches

    Louis Berger & Company designed this two-family house for Paul Stier around 1908 (NB 74-1908). Its row, 60-01 to 60-49 70th Avenue, is one of three neighboring rows of that year given open wood porches on brick columns, reached by graystone stoops and roofed on Tuscan columns, like those Berger designed for the nearby Stockholm Street Historic District. On this house the porch cornice is now covered in sheet metal and the floor laid with wood planks.

    “Three adjacent rows, all constructed in 1908, have these porches: 60-02 to 60-54 69th Avenue, 60-01 to 60-49 69th Avenue, and 60-01 to 60-49 70th Avenue.”
