A concrete path runs along the rear facades from the north end of the complex, and the Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2007 designation report found one large historic ginkgo tree still growing there. A chain-link fence divides the yard from apartment houses on 46th Street that the City Housing Corporation did not build.
