    Paul Stier commissioned this two-family house in 1909 under permit NB 3613-1909, with plans by Louis Berger & Company. Its Renaissance Revival front is four bays wide, three of them gathered into a curved projection, above a rough-faced brownstone stoop, and a pressed-metal cornice trimmed with swags and egg-and-dart moldings crowns it. The designation report found that the house still kept its original front door and stoop, along with a historic areaway fence of cast-iron posts and wrought iron.
