    1829 Putnam Avenue has a four-bay front with a projecting end bay and wood windows

    1829 has a four-bay pale yellow brick front with its last bay projecting, and it keeps double-hung wood windows. Historic paired wood-and-glass doors sit inside a carved limestone surround with a bracketed, pedimented hood, and a railing survives at the under-stoop entry. The LPC notes storm windows, some aluminum replacements, a new brick and cast-stone stoop, and a bench in the areaway.
