Architect Louis Berger, designer of over 5,000 Ridgewood and Bushwick buildings, plans 60-30 for Paul Stier
Louis Berger's firm designed this house for builder Paul Stier. Born in Rheinpfalz, Germany, in 1875, Berger came to America as a boy in 1880, settled in Ridgewood in 1892, studied at Pratt Institute and apprenticed with Carrere & Hastings before opening his own Bushwick office in 1895. He was architect of record for more than 5,000 buildings in Ridgewood and Bushwick through 1930, became secretary-treasurer of Bauer & Stier, Inc. in 1910, and presided over the Brooklyn Society of Architects.
“Berger was known to have been the architect of record for over 5,000 buildings in Ridgewood and Bushwick between 1895 and 1930.”

Built around 1908 for Paul Stier to designs by Louis Berger & Company, this two-story house has a curved bay running its full height, with continuous molded stone sills and lintels and brick piers capped in stone between the windows. A stone hood with an incised frieze, carried on brackets, shelters the entrance, where the original wood-and-glass double doors survive above a historic masonry stoop.
