Paul Stier builds a curved-bay two-family house at 60-43 68th Avenue
Paul Stier was the original owner of this two-family house, filed as new-building permit 1917 of 1909 and designed by Louis Berger & Company. The Landmarks Preservation Commission cites the row at 60-43 to 60-89 68th Avenue as an example of Stier's most common house type, with more pronounced bays than his earlier rows; he built over 200 of them between 1908 and 1912. Here a full-height curved bay is set off by contrasting brick string courses and spandrel panels, and a bracketed stone hood with a triangular pediment crowns the doorway. The stoop is original, though its under-stoop gate has been replaced.
