Its two-bay back wall, with double-hung sash of two patterns (six-over-six and four-over-four) on each floor, is one of the rear facades of the row that can be seen from 46th Street.

The 2007 survey found the facade of 39-79 cleaned and its entry porch reclad in non-historic stone-form siding, with a single-pane window across the front. The windows were one-over-one aluminum, the door was a replacement behind a metal grille storm door, and a chain-link fence with a gate stood behind the concrete curb. Patching and repointing showed on the rear wall.
