The 2007 landmarks survey found a historic door surround at 39-57 45th Street, framing a replacement door above a concrete step. The window bay had been replaced and given an asphalt-shingle roof, and an air conditioner projected through the wall beside it. A metal railing with a gate on a brick cheek wall enclosed a yard paved with cast stone, and the south side wall faces the through-block path.
