1907
Architect Louis Berger, designer of thousands of Ridgewood and Bushwick buildings, draws the house for Stier
The house was designed in 1907 by Louis Berger & Company for builder Paul Stier. Berger, born in Rheinpfalz, Germany, in 1875, arrived in America in 1880, studied architecture at Pratt Institute and apprenticed with Carrere & Hastings before opening his Bushwick office in 1895. He was architect of record for more than 5,000 buildings in Ridgewood and Bushwick, and when Stier and August Bauer formed Bauer & Stier, Inc. in 1910, Berger became its architect and secretary-treasurer.
