The 2010 district report recorded 1872 Putnam Avenue with one-over-one wood windows in its openings, most of them now covered by aluminum storm windows, with aluminum replacements in a few bays. It also kept paired wood-and-glass doors with a wood-grain finish and wood basement windows with screens. The stoop had been rebuilt in brick and cast stone and the door surround resurfaced.
