    Louis Berger's firm designs 60-68 68th Road for builder Paul Stier

    Louis Berger & Company drew the plans for this two-family house, which Paul Stier built around 1909. Berger, born in the Rheinpfalz in 1875, came to America as a boy in 1880, studied architecture at Pratt Institute and apprenticed with Carrere & Hastings before opening his own office in Bushwick in 1895. He specialized in tenement houses and the laws governing them, and is credited with more than 5,000 buildings in Ridgewood and Bushwick by 1930.

    “Berger was known to have been the architect of record for over 5,000 buildings in Ridgewood and Bushwick between 1895 and 1930.”
