A three-story apartment house rises at 60-58, attributed to Koch & Wagner
Built around 1911 for an owner the Landmarks Preservation Commission could not identify, this apartment building is attributed to the architects Koch & Wagner because it closely resembles their building next door at 60-56. It stands three stories over a basement, with rusticated brick at the ground floor, a brownstone stoop, keystoned lintels on the second floor, brick laid to imitate quoins at the edges and a cornice of swags, modillions and dentils.

Koch & Wagner, architects of the Ralph Bunche House, design an early tenement row here
Arthur R. Koch and Charles C. Wagner, both Brooklyn-born Pratt graduates, formed their partnership in 1910, and their 1911 tenement row at 60-56 to 60-62 71st Avenue, which includes this attributed building, is among the firm's earliest work. Before the partnership Wagner had spent several years working on the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The pair went on to design many Brooklyn banks, along with the Ralph Bunche House and Ridgewood Lodge No. 710 of the Free and Accepted Masons, both designated city landmarks.
