August Bauer was the original owner of this 1908 flats building, filed under permit NB 2907-1908 and drawn by Louis Berger & Company. Three stories tall over a basement, it has a four-bay front in which three bays curve outward, a bracketed and molded lintel over the entrance, rough-faced brick panels beneath the window sills, and a bracketed cornice of pressed metal trimmed with swags and egg-and-dart moldings.

1908
Prolific builder August Bauer puts up the 71st Avenue row that includes this house
Through the turn of the century August Bauer put up several hundred houses, among them numerous wood-frame rows and, afterward, a few of the neighborhood's earliest brick rows, most of them drawn by Louis Berger & Company. His 1908 row along 71st Avenue, from 60-55 to 60-95, takes in this building, and Berger designed it to resemble the houses of the builder Paul Stier.
