    Jacob Erbach was the original owner of this two-family house, built around 1912 under New Building permit 1919-1912 to plans by Louis Berger & Company. It is one of four two-family houses from 69-12 to 69-18, with two stories and a basement in buff iron-spot brick, a rounded bay rising the full height of the facade, limestone lintels carved with stylized leaves, and a modillioned metal cornice. The stoop has lost its newel posts and original railings, the entrance has a replacement door frame and metal awning, and an electrical box sits at the first story.
