In 1999-2000 the house was reworked for owner Daniel Orden by architect Warren Meister. The terrace, the entryway and the front were altered, and the house was extended on its east and south sides. The one-story wood-frame side wing beside the original brick block dates from 2000, and the landmarks report now classes the house as altered Colonial Revival.
