    Builder Paul Stier put up this two-family house around 1908 as part of the row running from 60-01 to 60-49 70th Avenue, one of three neighboring rows he gave full-width front porches that year. Louis Berger & Company designed the porches, open wood structures on brick supports with Tuscan columns and graystone stoops, much like those on Berger's houses in the Stockholm Street Historic District. Many of these porches have since been altered.

    “Three adjacent rows, all constructed in 1908, have these porches: 60-02 to 60-54 69th Avenue, 60-01 to 60-49 69th Avenue, and 60-01 to 60-49 70th Avenue.”
