Form-stone cladding covers the porch of 39-48 45th Street by 2007
The landmarks report lists 39-48 45th Street, lot 83 of Block 155, as a type A house: two bays, its entry on the left beside a single window, with two windows above. By 2007 its porch had been clad in form-stone and fitted with paired single-pane casements, with a flagpole between them and a metal awning over a non-historic door. Surveyors also noted a grille on a basement window, aluminum one-over-one sash and brick steps with cast-stone treads.
