Built around 1911 for an owner who has not been determined, this three-story apartment house over a basement is credited to Koch & Wagner, since it closely resembles the firm's building at 60-56 71st Avenue. It keeps its original brownstone stoop, and its front shows rusticated brick at the first story, stone bands under molded lintels at the third story and a pressed-metal cornice with swags, modillions and dentils.

Koch & Wagner, later known for Brooklyn bank buildings, design this row early in their partnership
Koch & Wagner's row at 60-56 to 60-62 71st Avenue, which includes this building, is one of the firm's earliest works. Over four decades the partners went on to design many bank buildings in Brooklyn, several for the People's National Bank, which Arthur R. Koch helped found, and others for the Bohack Realty Corporation, where he was a director. The Ralph Bunche House and Ridgewood Lodge No. 710 of the Free and Accepted Masons, both now city landmarks, are also their work.
