Paul Stier is the original owner on New Building permit 1929-1909, which also covers the neighboring houses on this side of the block, with plans by Louis Berger & Company. The two-family house rises two stories over a basement in Renaissance Revival dress: a curved bay running the full height of the front, a stone door hood on brackets with incised ornament, and a deep metal cornice whose frieze carries festoons. The door and windows have since been replaced, and an iron railing now tops the stoop walls.

1909
The house opens the 60-51 to 60-87 row, one of Stier's deep-bayed rows built at speed
The Landmarks Preservation Commission lists 60-51 to 60-87 67th Avenue (1909) among the examples of Stier and Berger's most common house type, more than 200 of which went up between 1908 and 1912, with pronounced bays and brownstone stoops. To work quickly, the builders reused a handful of floor plans, and arches inside the brick party walls were apparently left open during construction so workers could pass from house to house without going back out to the street.
“Examples include ... 60-51 to 60-87 67th Avenue (1909)…”
