The commission classes it as Type A'. The flat-roofed houses at the center of the row are set back from the street, and the row is trimmed with projecting bays, soldier-course brickwork and pilasters at the enclosed entry porticos.

The commission's 2007 survey of 39-56 45th Street recorded a brick stoop and a brick wall enclosing the yard. The porch had aluminum siding, with paired sliding windows across the front and a single-pane window on its side. Windows were one-over-one aluminum, the wood door was a replacement, and an air conditioner projected through the wall below a first-floor window.
