66-14 Stier Place goes up as one of Paul Stier's Renaissance Revival row houses
Built around 1911 for Paul Stier under New Building permit 1724, this two-story house on a raised basement was designed by Louis Berger & Company. It has a curved projecting bay, a stone stoop under a bracketed stone hood, stone bands that run the width of the front and hold the sills, and a deep decorated frieze topped by a bracketed cornice with dentils.

The house is one of 481 buildings Paul Stier develops in the district
Paul Stier built about half of the row houses in what is now the Central Ridgewood Historic District, 481 buildings in all. Most came early: 392 went up from 1907 to 1909, after he bought a large part of the old Debevoise farm north of Myrtle Avenue in 1906. This house, from about 1911, belongs to his later years, when he built in partnership with August Bauer.
