The 2007 designation survey found the historic front door still in place at 39-76, but the entry porch had been filled in with non-historic brick and given one-over-one windows on its front and side. A first-floor window had been reduced in size and fitted with paired sliding sash, and three through-wall air conditioners projected from the facade, one below the first-floor window and two at the second floor.
