At 1826 Cornelia Street the carved limestone entrance still frames historic paired wood-and-glass doors finished to show the wood grain, reached by the original bluestone stoop with its railing. The pale yellow brick front sits on an amber base and ends in a tan cornice with swags and cartouches. The windows had become aluminum replacements by 2010, and the stoop and base stonework were painted grey. The rear has a toothed brick cornice and a fire escape.
