    The Central Ridgewood report groups the four houses at 60-35 to 60-41 Putnam Avenue, built in 1907 by Geier & Frey, with the other early brick rows Louis Berger & Company designed nearby. They resemble the rows the firm had drawn a year earlier for the builder Ignatz Martin but are simpler: where Martin's 1906 houses have rough-faced, splayed lintels with keystones, every window lintel and stone band here is flat, smooth and set flush with the brick.
