Part of the row running from 60-01 to 60-47 70th Avenue, the house was designed with a full-height curved bay and a porch across its front, trimmed with rough-faced brick bands and panels and a swagged cornice. The Landmarks Preservation Commission found the porch replaced apart from its sheet-metal roof, now carried on metal columns, along with new stoop railings, three utility meters on the facade and concrete steps behind a granite retaining wall in the areaway. The original front door remained.
“…porch replaced except for roof, which is covered with sheet metal; non-historic metal porch columns and porch railings…”
