Paul Stier was the original owner of this two-story house, recorded under new-building permit 1918 of 1909 with Louis Berger & Company as architect. Its brick front has a full-height rounded bay, contrasting brick spandrel panels and a stone door hood with a triangular pediment. Later owners added a fire escape at the second story, filled in brick above the basement door and installed an aluminum awning over the entrance.

1909
The house belongs to a 1909 row of Stier's most common model, with deep curved bays
The landmarks report sorts Paul Stier's houses into three Louis Berger designs and names the row at 60-43 to 60-89 68th Avenue, built in 1909, as an example of the third and most common type. More than 200 of these were built between 1908 and 1912, two or three stories tall with pronounced bay projections and rough-faced brownstone stoops with solid side walls. Berger varied the brick colors and ornament from row to row.
