A mid-1800s frame house is moved off this lot to Kleupfel Court
Before the present brick building, the lot at 66-85 60th Place held one of two gabled wood-frame houses dating from the mid-nineteenth century. In 1913 the houses on this lot and 66-91 were moved to new sites at 1 and 2 Kleupfel Court, and the lots were rebuilt with brick apartment houses. The Landmarks Preservation Commission calls them the most interesting early frame houses in the district, though both have been altered.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission lists this three-story Renaissance Revival row house with its date and builder undetermined. Its stone stoop may be historic, and it keeps historic cast-iron railings and newel posts, with a possibly historic iron fence and gate around the areaway. Non-historic additions include an aluminum awning, a new door with a decorative security grille, and a sculpture beside the entrance.
