Read more
The three-bay brick front has two curved bays, a rough-faced brownstone stoop, a brownstone water table, rough-faced stone lintels and a bracketed cornice of pressed metal trimmed with swags and egg-and-dart moldings. The Landmarks Preservation Commission listed few changes: an aluminum awning, electrical wires and utility meters. The front door, the windows and the areaway fence and gate had been replaced.
