    This two-story house with a basement was built around 1912 for owner Jacob Erbach under New Building permit 1919-1912 and designed by Louis Berger & Company, one of four two-family houses from 69-12 to 69-18 Forest Avenue. Its buff iron-spot brick front has a full-height rounded bay, a limestone hood on brackets over the door, and a cornice with dentils and festoons. The partly visible west side wall is parged and topped with a dogtoothed brick and metal cornice, and a non-historic metal awning now shades its first story.
