Statue-topped brick posts stand where the original iron fence of 1876 Stockholm Street was

The facade had been repainted and the stone stoop resurfaced and painted. Still in place were the curved three-bay front, a porch spanning the full width with Doric columns and square spindles, double wood-and-glass doors, and a pressed-metal cornice with swags, egg-and-dart molding and scrolled brackets.
