No. 1995 is the northern half of the red-brick middle pair in John Hauser's first group, a two-family house two stories tall over a high basement. In the Landmarks Preservation Commission's 1980s survey it still had wooden one-over-one sash and its wrought-iron stoop and areaway railings, though a cyclone fence had been added beside them. Its cornice, like those of Nos. 1993 and 1997, was painted green.
“Cyclone fence augments the extant stoop and areaway railing at No. 1995.”

Conrad and Elizabeth Bill are recorded as the first owners of 1995 Morris Avenue, with a purchase date of June 2, 1918, in the appendix of first owners in the Landmarks Preservation Commission's 1986 report. That is the latest date listed for any house on the west side of the block, where most other first sales took place between 1908 and 1911.
