60-42 69th Avenue trades its porch base for a garage entrance
Berger's design gave the house a curved bay the full height of the facade, a porch spanning its width, rough-faced stone lintels, decorative brick banding and a cornice trimmed with swags, consoles and egg-and-dart. The porch has since been replaced apart from its roof, set on non-historic metal columns, and a garage entrance with two lights above it was opened at the porch base. A side door was also cut beneath the stoop.
