Bavarian-born builder August Bauer joins Paul Stier, the owner of this house, in Bauer & Stier
August Bauer, a trained carpenter born in Bavaria in 1860, emigrated in 1882 and made Ridgewood his base from 1893. By about the turn of the century he had built several hundred houses, first many frame rows and then some of the area's earliest brick ones, and he belonged to the Ridgewood Democratic Club and the Ridgewood Board of Trade. In 1910 he and Paul Stier formed Bauer & Stier, Inc., which kept building housing in Ridgewood and nearby Queens.

This two-family house was built for Paul Stier under permit NB 1357-1911, to designs by Louis Berger & Company. Its rounded bay sits on the east side with three windows on each story, set off by contrasting brick panels and a deep bracketed cornice with festoons. The original double wood-and-glass entrance doors survive, now behind a pair of glass-and-metal security doors added later along with an aluminum awning.
