1821 Madison Street still has its historic paired doors and bluestone stoop in 2010

The 2010 designation report found that 1821 kept its historic paired wood-and-glass entry doors with a wood-grain finish, its bluestone stoop and railing, and an under-stoop entrance with its old railing. The areaway railing and newel posts also survived, minus some details. Aluminum replacement windows filled every opening, and the stoop and base stonework had been painted grey.
