2028 Gates Avenue ends its row with a projecting bay and a bluestone band course
The five-bay buff brick front of 2028 projects at its last bay and is trimmed with limestone lintels, rough-faced brick and a swagged, modillioned cornice. Its paired wood-and-glass doors keep a wood-grain finish, and a bluestone band course and sills run along the basement. The facade has since been cleaned and repointed and fitted with vinyl windows; the six-bay rear, with a fire escape, is stuccoed light green.
