It includes Ridgewood's only box stoops and its only rows of dark brown brick and brownstone. Most rows were designed by Louis Berger and Co. and built by several well-known local builders. The district's character comes from similar scale, setting, materials and repeated design motifs.","narrative":"Madison-Putnam-60th Place is a ten-acre residential district in Ridgewood, Queens, made up of 145 buildings put up between 1900 and 1920. Most are two-story row houses with one apartment per floor, along with three-story tenements with two apartments per floor. Facades vary by street: brown brick with brownstone trim on 67th Avenue, light brown brick with Romanesque Revival detailing on Putnam Avenue, and cream-colored brick with cast-stone trim on Madison Street. The row at 59-13 to 60-01 Putnam Avenue has the only box stoops found in Ridgewood, built in 1903 by Henn and Ballweg. Louis Berger and Co., the neighborhood's most prolific architectural firm, designed most of the rows, which were built by Ignatz Martin, Anton Kluepfel, John Eisenhauer and others. The buildings remain largely unaltered, with changes mostly limited to new doors, stoops, ironwork and awnings. Similar scale, materials and repeated design motifs give the district its cohesive character.","period_of_significance":"1900-1920","architect_builder":"Louis Berger and Co.
