Paul Stier's 1909 two-family house at 60-43 swells into a curved bow on its east side
Built about 1909 under permit NB 1927-1909, this two-story house was designed by Louis Berger & Company for owner Paul Stier. Its full-height curved bow sits on the east side, with continuous molded stone sills and lintels at the first story and contrasting brick panels below every window. An engraved stone lintel on brackets tops the door. The stoop has since been rebuilt in brick and stone with iron railings, and an aluminum awning now hangs over the door.
