    60-56 Putnam Avenue is built for Paul Stier, one of a row of curved-bay houses

    Paul Stier, the original owner, had this row house built around 1911 under permit NB 1729-1911, from a design by Louis Berger & Company. It stands two stories high over a basement, with a curved bay, flat lintels over the upper windows and a decorated frieze capped by a modillioned cornice. By the time of the landmarks survey the front door had been swapped out and an aluminum awning added over the entrance.
