    Paul Stier builds a two-family house here with an angled bay, to Louis Berger & Company's plans

    Ridgewood developer Paul Stier was the original owner of 60-39 68th Avenue, a two-family house of two stories and a basement filed under new-building permit 3008 of 1911, which also covered 60-35 and 60-37. Louis Berger & Company drew the Renaissance Revival design. Most of Stier's rows have curved bay fronts, but the Landmarks Preservation Commission names 60-35 to 60-39 as one of the rows he and Berger built with angled bays instead. Here a three-sided bay projects under a deep metal cornice with brackets and festoons.
