    Silver Street, home of 60-85, becomes 68th Road when Ridgewood's streets are renamed

    When Paul Stier built this two-family house around 1909, its street was called Silver Street. In 1925 the Board of Aldermen renamed most of Ridgewood's streets under a plan, dating to 1911, to replace the duplicated street names left in Queens after the 1898 consolidation with a numbered grid. Under the new system, Silver Street became 68th Road.
