    Builder Paul Stier was the first owner of this Renaissance Revival two-family house, erected in 1909 under permit NB 3613-1909 with Louis Berger & Company as architect. It has four bays, three of them curved, and a brownstone stoop. Over the years the stoop, water table, lintels and spandrel panels were painted, awnings went up over both entrances, and some of the brackets were stripped from the pressed-metal cornice.

    “…bell panel and address plate at the main entryway; brackets removed from part of the cornice…”
