The five-bay buff brick front of 2035 carries keystoned limestone lintels, rough-faced brown brick trim at the ground floor, brick pilasters on carved limestone bases and a gray swagged cornice. Its historic paired door sits under a bracketed limestone hood, and the under-stoop entry keeps its old railing, while the areaway ironwork survives with some detail missing. The windows have been replaced with aluminum ones.
