    Ridgewood's biggest builder, German-born Paul Stier, puts up 60-69 67th Avenue

    Paul Stier was the original owner and builder of this two-family house of about 1909. Born in Mecklenburg, Germany, in 1874, he came to America alone as a teenager in 1891, apprenticed to a mason in Buffalo, and moved to Ridgewood in 1902. His busiest years were 1907 to 1909, when he erected 392 of the 481 buildings he developed in what is now the Central Ridgewood Historic District.
