2033 Gates Avenue shows a cleaned buff brick front with limestone trim
The front of 2033 is five bays of buff brick with molded limestone lintels, keystones over the ground-floor openings and a bracketed limestone door surround around historic paired doors. A dark gray cornice with swags and modillions tops the facade, which has since been cleaned and repointed. Aluminum windows, a new stoop of brick and cast stone, and replacement areaway ironwork are later changes; the six-bay rear is painted grey.
