60-81 68th Road joins a row of Stier's most common house type, with deep curved bays
This house belongs to the 1909 row at 60-51 to 60-89 68th Road, an example of the third and most widespread house model Paul Stier and Louis Berger used. More than 200 of these were built between 1908 and 1912, with more pronounced bay projections than Stier's earlier shallow-bay houses. They were two or three stories tall, with rough-faced brownstone stoops and solid brownstone side walls, and Berger varied the brick colors and ornament from row to row.
“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.”
