    This house, part of the row at 60-56 to 60-98 69th Avenue built in 1909, follows the third and most common of the house types Louis Berger designed for Paul Stier, of which more than 200 went up between 1908 and 1912. These houses are two or three stories on raised or full-height basements, with a pronounced curved bay. Their stoops were of rough-faced brownstone, side walls included, and the report finds most of them still intact.

    “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.”
