While most houses in the row had switched to one-over-one vinyl or aluminum windows, the 2007 landmarks survey found 39-15 still fitted with six-over-six wood sash behind storm windows and its historic front door. The facade had been cleaned, and a corrugated plastic awning on metal columns sheltered the original door surround and hood. Air-conditioning units had been cut through the walls on the first and second floors.
