Louis Berger, architect of this house, becomes secretary-treasurer of the new firm Bauer & Stier
Louis Berger, born in Rheinpfalz, Germany, in 1875, came to America as a boy, studied architecture at Pratt Institute and apprenticed with Carrere & Hastings before opening his own office in Bushwick in 1895. When Paul Stier and August Bauer formed Bauer & Stier, Inc. in 1910, Berger served as its in-house architect and its secretary-treasurer. From 1895 to 1930 he was architect of record for more than 5,000 Ridgewood and Bushwick buildings.
“…when Paul Stier and another local builder, August Bauer, formed Bauer & Stier, Inc., Berger was not only its resident architect, but also the secretary-treasurer…”

This two-family house was filed under permit NB 1355-1911 with Paul Stier as original owner and Louis Berger & Company as architect. It is two stories over a basement, with a rounded two-story bay, continuous stone lintels and sills, a carved stone door hood on brackets and a festooned metal cornice. The stoop has since been rebuilt in brick and stone, and a plain wood door and a metal-and-glass awning replaced the original entrance.
