Builder Paul Stier erected this two-story house around 1911 under permit NB 1723, with plans by Louis Berger & Company. The Renaissance Revival facade combines a curved projecting bay, brick inset panels under the windows, a bracketed stone hood over the entrance, and a wide stone band with a cornice above the first-floor windows. By 2014 its door and windows had been replaced and an aluminum awning added.

Open arches in the party walls likely let Stier's crews move through the row as it rose
Stier and his architect Louis Berger finished houses like this one very quickly by reusing only a few basic floor plans and varying the surface treatment of near-identical fronts. The brick party walls between houses had relieving arches that apparently stayed open during construction, so workers and materials could pass along the row indoors instead of going up and down each stoop; they were probably closed near completion.
