Paul Stier was the original owner and builder of this two-story brick house, filed in 1907 under permit 826-1907 with Louis Berger & Company as architects. Like its neighbors on the south side of the block, it is three bays wide, with two bays bowed out in a shallow curve above a rough-faced brownstone stoop and water table.

When the city surveyed the house for the Central Ridgewood designation, it still had its original brownstone stoop and original front door, while the houses on either side had replacement doors. Other parts had changed: the lintel over the entry had been taken off and the masonry smoothed and painted, and a flagpole bracket had been fixed to the first story.
