The Landmarks Preservation Commission lists the 1909 row at 60-51 to 60-89 68th Road, this house included, among examples of the third and most widely built type of Paul Stier house, of which more than 200 went up between 1908 and 1912. Designed by Louis Berger, these houses have deeper curved bays than Stier's earlier shallow-bay rows and stand two or three stories on raised or full basements, with rough-faced brownstone stoops and solid stoop walls. This one still has its original stoop, the original gate beneath it and its original double front doors of wood and glass.
“The third, and most most common type of Stier house, of which over 200 were built between 1908 and 1912, have more pronounced bay projections.”
