Built about 1909 under permit NB 1929-1909, this two-story house on a basement was one of the two-family homes Paul Stier erected along the block from Louis Berger & Company's plans. Its front swells into a curved bay from basement to cornice, and contrasting brick spandrel panels sit between the second-story windows. The commission's survey found its iron areaway fence, newel posts and gate still original, while the door and windows had been replaced.

1925
The Board of Aldermen renames Cornelia Street, and the house gets its 67th Avenue address
In 1925 the Board of Aldermen renamed most of Ridgewood's streets, carrying out a plan for numbered streets that Queens Borough President Maurice E. Connolly had set in motion in 1911 to end the borough's many duplicate street names. Cornelia Street, which this house faces, became 67th Avenue.
