Around 1908 Paul Stier had Louis Berger & Company design this two-story building, with a store on the ground floor and flats above, under the same permit, NB 1766-1908, as the two-family houses at 60-45 and 60-47. It is one of two store-and-flats buildings, with 60-01, at either end of the 23 houses from 60-03 to 60-47. Its Renaissance Revival front uses tan iron-spot brick, rough-faced limestone lintels and a cornice with festoons, and a cast-iron storefront pilaster survives at its western end.

The 1914 Sanborn fire insurance map already shows a storefront in this building, according to the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The storefront has since been replaced, and its original cornice was swapped for corbelled brick.
