Dated 1924, 41-48 is one of the five middle houses in a row of seven on the west side of 47th Street. The middle five have slate-shingled pitched roofs with a brick chimney rising at the peak of each house, while the two end houses have flat roofs behind parapets and are set back from the street. Brick soldier courses run at the first-floor sill line and over the upper windows.

The 2007 designation survey recorded that 41-48 still had its historic red and bluestone front walk and historic wood clapboards on its center enclosed porch. The north porch had been closed in with non-historic wood siding, and the windows were vinyl with simulated divided lights. A chain-link fence and gate guarded the basement entrance, which had a non-historic door.
