    Built around 1912 for Jacob Erbach under New Building permit 1919-1912, this two-family house by Louis Berger & Company is the last of the group of four that begins at 69-12 Forest Avenue. It shares the group's buff iron-spot brick, rounded full-height bay and festooned metal cornice. The house still has its historic iron stoop railings and newel posts, and the historic iron fence and gate in front of its areaway, though the main entrance has a replacement door frame and a metal awning.
