Louis Berger & Company designed this three-story flats building for Paul Stier under permit NB 1929-1909. A side-facing masonry stoop with walls leads to its original double wood-and-glass door under an incised stone hood on stone brackets. The west wall repeats the front's stone lintels and contrasting brick, and a fire escape with a ladder to the roof runs down the back.

German families leaving Manhattan's East Side and Williamsburg fill new Ridgewood flats
This building went up during the years 1906 to 1911, when Ridgewood ranked among the fastest growing parts of the city. Most newcomers were German immigrants and their children moving out of Manhattan's East Side and Brooklyn's Williamsburg, where housing was crowded and decaying. Ridgewood offered them new, modern homes they could afford, in a setting described as healthful and convenient.
