This two-story brick house over a basement went up around 1909 under New Building permit 1929-1909, with Paul Stier as original owner and Louis Berger & Company as architect. Its Renaissance Revival facade has a full-height curved bay, contrasting brick spandrel panels, an incised stone door hood on brackets and a deep metal cornice trimmed with festoons. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2014 survey found the cornice and stoop original but the door and windows replaced.

Paul Stier, the German-born mason turned Ridgewood's biggest builder, puts up this house
Paul Stier, born in Mecklenburg in 1874, came to America alone as a teenager in 1891 and worked as a mason's apprentice in Buffalo. He moved to the Ridgewood area in 1902 and became its largest single developer. His busiest years were 1907 to 1909, when he put up 392 of the 481 buildings he eventually raised inside what is now the Central Ridgewood Historic District.
“His most active years were from 1907 to 1909, when he built 392 of the 481 buildings that he eventually developed within the historic district.”
