    A three-story apartment house with a shopfront goes up for Paul Stier at 60-78 Putnam Avenue

    Built around 1912 under permit NB 660-1912 for Paul Stier and designed by Louis Berger & Company, this Renaissance Revival apartment building rises three stories over a basement. A cast-iron pilaster at the ground floor holds up brick corbelling, and rusticated brick bands run between the upper windows to a bracketed cornice that turns the corner. The first-floor storefront was later rebuilt. The lot also holds a one-story brick garage for four cars, ringed with chain-link fence and barbed wire, with a clothesline frame on its roof.
