For the Stockholm Street Historic District, the Landmarks Preservation Commission found that this house still had its historic wrought- and cast-iron gate and fence and its graystone stoop, now painted and fitted with newer railings.

Security grilles had been added at the basement and first-floor windows, and the sash replaced.
