    60-53 Putnam Avenue is built for Paul Stier as a blond-brick row house with a curved bay

    Paul Stier was the original owner of this two-story Renaissance-style row house, filed around 1911 under new-building permit NB 1727-1911 with plans by Louis Berger & Company. Its blond brick front swells into a curved bay, and a stone hood on brackets shelters the entrance. When the Landmarks Preservation Commission surveyed it, the modillioned cornice survived and the stoop may have been original, while the door, windows and areaway fence had been replaced.
