   This house closes a row of two-family houses, 60-23 through 60-35 67th Avenue, that Ignatz Martin built in 1906 from plans by Louis Berger & Company. The Landmarks Preservation Commission ranks the row among the oldest masonry groups in the district, put up on former Hulst and Meyerrose farmland soon after new rules outlawed wood construction there. Its flat brick fronts carry brownstone stoops, rough-faced lintels with keystones and pressed-metal cornices hung with swags.

   The row's builder, Ignatz Martin, is a German immigrant turned Bushwick real estate operator

   Ignatz Martin (1864-1921) emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1898 and within two years was a real estate operator living in Bushwick. He built many houses in what became the Central Ridgewood Historic District, among them some of its first brick rows, and later added a row at 59-12 to 59-26 68th Avenue in 1911, again with Louis Berger & Company as architects. He was living in Richmond Hill by 1915.

   Its original double door and iron railings survive, though no building permit for 60-35 has turned up

   Because no new-building permit has been found for this two-story flats building, the Landmarks Preservation Commission attributes its design and notes that it was originally identical to the neighboring building that Ignatz Martin built from Louis Berger & Company plans. The house still has its original wood-and-glass double door, with its transom and paneled reveals, plus its original areaway fence, newel posts and stair railings. Its second-story windows are round-headed, framed by rough stone with keystones.

   “Building originally identical in design to adjacent building designed by Louis Berger & Company and built by Ignatz Martin; no NB found.”
