The three-bay front has two curved bays, a brownstone water table and a rough-faced brownstone stoop, with rough-faced brick panels under the first-floor windows and a bracketed pressed-metal cornice decorated with swags. The Landmarks Preservation Commission recorded the original cast-iron newel post and wrought-iron stoop railings, the original front door and the original areaway fence. Later owners patched and painted the stoop, painted the water table and added an aluminum awning and a wall lamp at the entrance.
