    Filed under new-building permit 2622 of 1909, this two-family house is one of the 23 row houses Stier built from 60-56 to 60-98 on the street, all designed by Louis Berger & Company. It has wood brickmold framing every window and a pedimented stone door hood on brackets. The main door has been replaced, but the door at the basement entrance may be historic.

    Most of Stier's two-family houses hold a five-room flat downstairs and six-room flats above

    According to the landmarks report, most of the houses Paul Stier and Louis Berger built in central Ridgewood were two or three stories tall and roughly 20 feet wide. The first floor held a five-room apartment and each upper floor a six-room one, and every apartment came with its own full kitchen and bathroom. Working from so few plans helped Stier and Berger build at speed.
