The Landmarks Preservation Commission cites the row from 60-51 to 60-89 68th Road, dated 1909, as an example of the most common Stier house type: more than 200 were built from 1908 to 1912. These houses push out pronounced curved bays and rise from rough-faced brownstone stoops with solid side walls. At 60-69 the three-story house still has a full-height rounded bay, a door hood with a carved triangular pediment, and a bracketed metal cornice hung with festoons.
“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.”
