Architect Louis Berger, who drew over 5,000 Ridgewood and Bushwick buildings, designs 60-79 68th Road
The plans for this 1909 two-family house came from Louis Berger & Company, Paul Stier's architects. Born in Rheinpfalz, Germany, in 1875, Berger arrived as a boy in 1880, studied at Pratt Institute, apprenticed with Carrere & Hastings and opened his own Bushwick office in 1895. He was architect of record for more than 5,000 buildings in Ridgewood and Bushwick, and in 1910 became secretary-treasurer of the new firm Bauer & Stier, Inc.
“Berger was known to have been the architect of record for over 5,000 buildings in Ridgewood and Bushwick between 1895 and 1930.”
