1909
Albert Tremmel has 60-36 71st Avenue built as a two-family house to plans by Louis Berger & Company
Albert Tremmel was the original owner of this two-story house on a raised basement, filed as new building NB 54-1909 and designed by Louis Berger & Company. Its Renaissance Revival front of brick and stone has three bays, two in a curved projection, a rough-faced brownstone stoop, incised stone panels under the first-floor windows and a bracketed pressed-metal cornice with egg-and-dart moldings. The stoop has since been painted, and the entry lintel was removed and replaced with a smooth stuccoed surface.

1925
Van Courtlandt Avenue, this house's street, becomes 71st Avenue in the Queens renaming
When the house was built, its street was Van Courtlandt Avenue. In 1925 the Board of Aldermen renamed most of Ridgewood's streets, carrying out a numbering plan that Queens Borough President Maurice E. Connolly had set in motion in 1911 to end duplicate street names; at the time the borough had ten different Main Streets. Van Courtlandt Avenue became 71st Avenue.
