    Frederick Dessau, a German-born mason from Amsterdam, New York, plans this house

    This two-family house is credited to Frederick Dessau, whom the Landmarks Preservation Commission lists as architect of 68-08 through 68-14 60th Street. The Commission found that city directories called Dessau a mason, a contractor or an architect at different times. Born in Neuhoff, Germany, he emigrated in 1872 while still a boy, was working as a mason in Amsterdam, New York, by 1883, and lived there for most of his life, with only a brief Brooklyn listing in the 1900s.
