Paul Stier was the original owner of this c. 1909 two-family house, one of the row filed under New Building permit 1929-1909 and designed by Louis Berger & Company. Behind the curved full-height bay and stone-hooded entrance, the house still had its original pair of wood-and-glass entrance doors and its metal cornice in 2014, according to the designation report, though the stairs had been refaced and decorative railings added on the stair walls.

Ridgewood builders sell houses like this one to owners who live in one flat and rent the rest
Early in the century, most new building in Ridgewood was two- and three-story brick houses and tenements that the Real Estate Record and Guide reported selling for $9,000 to $17,000. Builders sold most of the houses to private buyers, who lived in one apartment and rented the others for income. Thousands of two-family houses went up, making Ridgewood one of the main destinations for working-class families seeking an affordable way to own a home.
