This row house turns its side wall to a through-block path. The landmarks survey found its porch enclosed in stucco and faux stone, its brick cleaned and repointed, its parapet rebuilt in new brick laid in a diamond pattern, and its side yard paved as a driveway with a metal carport at the rear. One basement window had been made smaller and another opening cut.
