    Paul Stier owned this Renaissance Revival house when Louis Berger & Company designed it under new-building permit NB 2879 of 1908, one of 22 buildings from 60-57 to 60-99 70th Avenue. It rises two stories over a basement behind a full-height curved bay, with a pedimented stone door hood on brackets. Later owners swapped the stoop's vent grille for a letter slot, added a glass hood over the basement door and put a satellite dish on the roof; the original metal areaway fence and gate survive.
