    A city tax photograph of the house around 1940 later illustrates its row-house type

    A Tax Department photograph of 41-12 taken around 1940 appears in the 2007 landmarks report as an example of type N and its mirror image N', a four-bay row house with two front doors, one for the upstairs apartment and one for the downstairs. The doors sit beneath a sloping metal porch roof, gabled at its center, that the house splits with its mirror-image neighbor. The report notes that the photos of that era show no enclosures at the open, shed-roofed part of these porches.

    “…two building entries (to access upper and lower apartments) in the third and fourth bays…”
