Paul Stier filed permit NB 1919-1909 for this three-story, three-bay brick flats building on the corner of 60th Lane, designed by Louis Berger & Company. Its ground-floor storefront, which wrapped around onto the side street, was later filled in with brick and a stucco panel, while the bracketed metal cornice with festoons survives. A one-story garage now stands at the rear of the lot.

1925
The Board of Aldermen renames Hughes Street and Buchman Avenue as 68th Avenue and 60th Lane
In 1925 the Board of Aldermen renamed most of Ridgewood's streets under a Queens-wide plan, begun in 1911, to end the duplicate street names left over from consolidation. Both of this corner building's streets changed: Hughes Street became 68th Avenue and Buchman Avenue became 60th Lane. The Landmarks Preservation Commission counts the renaming among the biggest changes the historic district has seen.
