The landmarks survey records 60-93 as a Renaissance Revival flats building of three stories and a basement, built in 1908 for August Bauer from Louis Berger & Company's plans.

The primary door, the stoop and the cast-iron and wrought-iron areaway fence are original, while an aluminum awning and new stoop railings were added later.
