The Landmarks Preservation Commission dates the house to about 1908, under new-building permit 1952 of that year, and names John and Engelbert Buser as its original owners. Louis Berger & Company designed it as a two-family house, two stories over a basement, in brick, stone and metal, with a side-facing stoop.

The commission's survey describes a full-height, three-sided projecting bay crowned by a metal cornice, decorated with festoons, modillions and egg-and-dart molding, that it rates as original. The stoop and doors have been replaced, and a one-story, two-car garage at the back of the lot faces 68th Avenue, joined to the house by a tall fence. The rear has a non-historic two-story porch.
