Paul Stier was the first owner of this two-family house, built around 1908 under permit 1766-1908 to plans by Louis Berger & Company. It keeps its original porch with classical columns, though the porch substructure has been rebuilt in new brick with a door and two windows set into it. Electricity meters and vertical conduit have since been added to the facade.

Paul Stier's second type of house combined shallow bays with porches across the full facade, and three neighboring rows built in 1908 received them, including 60-01 to 60-49 69th Avenue.

The landmarks report compares them to Berger's porches in the Stockholm Street Historic District.
“Three adjacent rows, all constructed in 1908, have these porches: 60-02 to 60-54 69th Avenue, 60-01 to 60-49 69th Avenue…”
