Around 1908 Stier filed permit NB 1769 for this house and its neighbors, a group of 23 buildings stretching from 60-55 to 60-99 69th Avenue. Louis Berger & Company drew the Renaissance Revival design of brick, stone and iron. The house still has a wood door reveal, its original metal fence and gate, and its original cornice; the stoop has been painted and the door and windows replaced.

1908
The row at 60-55 to 60-99 69th Avenue uses Stier's most common house design, with deep curved bays

Berger designed three basic bay-front models for Stier, and this row is a listed example of the third and most popular, with more than 200 built from 1908 to 1912. These houses have more pronounced bays than the shallow-bay models and stoops of rough-faced brownstone enclosed by solid brownstone walls. Berger kept the rows from looking identical by varying brick colors and ornament from row to row.
“The third, and most most common type of Stier house, of which over 200 were built between 1908 and 1912, have more pronounced bay projections.”
