1909
Stier and Berger finish the Putnam Avenue block front with a three-story corner apartment house
Paul Stier and the architects Louis Berger & Company usually gave the corners of their Ridgewood blocks three-story buildings, most of them with stores below and flats above, but at 60-46 Putnam Avenue, put up in 1909, they built a three-story apartment house with no ground-floor shop. The Central Ridgewood designation report notes that such corner buildings lack the curved bays of the row houses beside them yet repeat their brick and stone trim.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission's survey describes this 1909 building as a three-story Renaissance Revival apartment house on a basement, built for Paul Stier to plans by Louis Berger & Company. Rough-cut stone panels sit beneath every window, and a bracketed, dentiled cornice wraps two sides. Behind it stands a one-story brick garage for three cars, now fitted with metal roll-down doors, and a metal frame for clotheslines remains on the roof.
