When the Landmarks Preservation Commission recorded each Sunnyside house in 2007, 45-09 Skillman Avenue had a brick enclosure with sliding windows across its front, entered from the side. Grilles covered the first- and second-floor windows, a red awning hung at the second floor, and a flagpole stood in the front yard. At the back, which never had a porch, there was a door under a red metal awning, two satellite dishes and a small aluminum-clad dormer on the roof.
