This c. 1909 two-family house, built for Paul Stier to designs by Louis Berger & Company, ends the row at 60-51 to 60-87 67th Avenue, which the Landmarks Preservation Commission cites as an example of Stier's most common type, with a pronounced curved bay. It keeps its original iron areaway fence, newels and gate along with its stone door hood and festooned cornice. Its east wall, parged brick, shows above the garage next door, and the stoop and water table have been parged.

Stier's crews appear to leave party-wall arches open to move between unfinished houses
Stier and Berger built quickly by relying on a handful of floor plans and facade designs, varied only in their surface treatment. The brick party walls dividing houses within a row had relieving arches that, the Landmarks Preservation Commission says, seem to have been left open while the row was built. That let workers and materials pass from house to house without going up and down each stoop, and the openings were probably closed only when the houses were nearly done.
“…the brick party walls between separate buildings within each row had interior relieving arches that appear to have been left open during construction…”
