Paul Stier was the original owner of this two-story house on a raised basement, built in 1907 under new-building permit NB 794-1907 as part of a row with plans by Louis Berger & Company. The Renaissance Revival brick-and-stone front has three bays, two of them in a shallow curved projection, rough-faced brick bands and stone lintels, and a bracketed pressed-metal cornice with swags. The original brownstone stoop and cornice remain in place.

Most of these houses were about 20 feet wide, with a five-room apartment on the first floor and a six-room apartment above, each with its own full kitchen and bathroom.
