Builder Anton Kluepfel puts up a corner apartment house at Woodbine Street
Anton Kluepfel commissioned this three-story brick apartment building at 60th Place and Woodbine Street around 1912 (permit 235-1912), designed by Louis Berger & Company. Kluepfel, born in Steinfeld, Germany, in 1870, came to America in 1886 and worked as a baker and a sailor before establishing himself as a builder by 1900, sometimes working with his brother George. Nearby Kleupfel Court may carry the family's name, misspelled.

A cornice wraps two facades of the 66-41 60th Place corner building
The Landmarks Preservation Commission notes that this Renaissance Revival corner building, also numbered 60-04 Woodbine Street, has a central entrance to its upper floors framed in stone with fluted pilasters and a bracketed hood. Corbelled brick pilasters turn the corner, and a wide frieze with a denticulated, bracketed cornice runs along both the west and north facades; the storefront on the west side was later reconfigured.
