    The landmark report names the rows on both sides of this block, 60-50 to 60-70 and 60-51 to 60-89 68th Road, as examples of Stier's third and most widespread house type, with deep curved bays and brownstone stoops; more than 200 were built from 1908 to 1912. These houses stand two or three stories on raised or full-height basements, and most of their solid-walled brownstone stoops remain. Berger kept the rows from looking identical by varying brick colors and facade ornament from one row to the next.

    “60-50 to 60-70 68th Road (1909), 60-51 to 60-89 68th Road (1909)…”
