1908
Louis Berger, architect of more than 5,000 Ridgewood and Bushwick buildings, designs 60-95 71st Avenue
The plans for 60-95 71st Avenue, the last house in August Bauer's 1908 row, came from Louis Berger & Company. Berger, born in Rheinpfalz, Germany, in 1875, studied architecture at Pratt Institute, apprenticed with Carrere & Hastings and opened his own Bushwick office in 1895. He was architect of record for more than 5,000 buildings in Ridgewood and Bushwick through 1930, and in 1910 became secretary-treasurer of Bauer & Stier, Inc.
“Berger was known to have been the architect of record for over 5,000 buildings in Ridgewood and Bushwick between 1895 and 1930…”

1908
60-95 71st Avenue closes August Bauer's row with a matching curved-bay front
Built under the same 1908 permit as its neighbors, NB 2907-1908, 60-95 71st Avenue is a three-story flats building on a basement with a four-bay facade, three bays of it curved. Its original pressed-metal cornice, trimmed with swags and egg-and-dart moldings, still tops the front, and the main door is original too. Since then the stoop and water table have been painted, new stoop railings and a wall lamp added, and a satellite dish set on the roof.
