The Commission's report names 60-78 to 60-82 Putnam Avenue, dated 1911-12, among the examples of the third and most numerous type of Stier house, with more than 200 built between 1908 and 1912. These have bolder bay projections than his earlier rows and got stoops of rough-faced brownstone. Within this type, Berger gave each row its own mix of brick colors and facade details.
“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.”

Paul Stier's peak came between 1907 and 1909, when he put up 392 of his 481 buildings in the district. From 1910 on, his projects were carried out together with another local builder, August Bauer. That year the two men formed Bauer & Stier, Inc., and this house, built around 1911, dates from that later partnership period.
“His most active years were from 1907 to 1909, when he built 392 of the 481 buildings ... From 1910 forward, his developments were in partnership with August Bauer.”
