Survey finds 39-12 with a bluestone driveway and air conditioners cut through its walls

The commission's 2007 survey found that 39-12 had lost its historic front door to a newer one with a storm door, though the original door hood and surround remained. Air-conditioning units projected through the facade on both floors, and the bluestone parapet coping had been coated. Beside the house ran a loosely laid bluestone driveway behind a metal gate, with no curb cut, while a chain-link fence and a scalloped cast-stone wall edged the front yard.
