The ground-floor flat had five rooms, and the upper flat had six because it gained a room over the entry hall below. According to the Landmarks Preservation Commission's history of the street, each apartment came with a full bathroom and a tub.

When the Landmarks Preservation Commission described the house for the Stockholm Street Historic District, its curved three-bay front had been repainted and it had a non-historic brick stoop with newer iron railings. Iron security grilles covered the basement and first-floor windows, and the limestone lintels were painted on the upper floor. The wood porch with Doric columns, the wood-and-glass double entry doors and the pressed-metal cornice with swags remained.
