Filed as NB 1924-1909 and designed by Louis Berger & Company, the three-story two-family house has a full-height rounded bay at its west side, stone lintels and continuous sills, and a projecting metal cornice with a festooned frieze. The 2014 designation report recorded aluminum awnings over both entrances, a single replacement door with narrow side panels and transom, and a wall opening in the masonry stoop that has been blocked in.

Two apartments, each with its own kitchen and bath, fill houses like 60-65
According to the landmark report, most of the district's houses are roughly 20 feet wide and rise two or three stories. They typically held a five-room apartment on the first floor and six-room apartments upstairs, every one with a full kitchen and bathroom. Stier and Berger relied on only a handful of basic floor plans, which let them finish houses at a fast pace.
