It contains Ridgewood's only Arts and Crafts influenced row houses, at 75-18 to 75-50 60th Lane. Cooperation among builders produced uniform setbacks, scale and materials, with mainly Romanesque and Renaissance Revival ornament.","narrative":"This ten-acre district in Ridgewood, Queens, holds 183 brick buildings erected between 1910 and 1925 along 60th Lane, 61st Street and 62nd Street. Most are two-story row houses with one apartment per floor, set back from the street to allow small front gardens. Rows differ in massing and brick color, with round, box and bay fronts, brownstone stoops, pressed metal cornices and elaborate ironwork. Neo Grec, Renaissance Revival, Romanesque and Classical details appear throughout. The district matters as a cohesive example of working-class housing from Ridgewood's main period of growth, shaped by builders who used consistent setbacks, scale and materials. Its most distinctive row, 75-18 to 75-50 60th Lane, was built from 1920 to 1925 by Charles Fritz to plans by Louis Berger and Co. It shows Arts and Crafts influence, with tiled pent roofs, wide soffits, exaggerated brackets and porches with squat columns, and is the only such row-house group in Ridgewood. Most buildings remain largely unaltered.","period_of_significance":"1910-1925","architect_builder":"Charles Fritz (builder) and Louis Berger and Co.
