Paul Stier, Ridgewood's busiest builder, puts up the house at 60-67 68th Road
This three-story two-family house, filed under permit 1924 of 1909, was one of hundreds raised by Paul Stier. Born in Mecklenburg, Germany, in 1874, Stier came to America alone in 1891, apprenticed as a mason in Buffalo, and settled in the Ridgewood area in 1902. Between 1907 and 1909 he built 392 of the 481 buildings he eventually developed in what is now the Central Ridgewood Historic District, and a small street in the district is named Stier Place.
“His most active years were from 1907 to 1909, when he built 392 of the 481 buildings that he eventually developed within the historic district.”
