When the Central Ridgewood Historic District was designated in 2014, surveyors classed this house as having no style. Its door hood, window hoods and cornice had all been removed, the front was clad in vinyl siding, the main entrance had been made smaller with a new door frame, and the stoop had been replaced. Only its scale and the pattern of its windows were noted as significant.
