The 2014 designation report found the original stoop intact but noted an aluminum awning, a flag pole mount and painted first-story spandrel panels.

The row holding 60-59 is built as an example of Paul Stier's most common house type
The Landmarks Preservation Commission names the 1909 row at 60-51 to 60-87 67th Avenue among the examples of Paul Stier's third and most common house type, of which more than 200 went up between 1908 and 1912. These houses have deeper bay projections than his earlier shallow-bay rows and were given rough-faced brownstone stoops with solid side walls. Architect Louis Berger kept the rows from looking identical by changing brick colors and facade ornament from one row to the next.
