This type has two front doors side by side, one for the lower apartment and one for the upper, under a metal shed roof with a center cross gable that it shares with the mirror-image house next door.

By the 2007 designation survey, 41-42 had a one-story addition across the full width of its back. In front, a non-historic brick porch with a sliding window and side door had been built at the south entry, while the center porch kept its historic clapboard enclosure. Its windows were vinyl, with grilles on the ground floor, and some brick at the second floor was tarred.
