The house was designed with a full-height curved bay and a porch across its front. By the time of the Landmarks Preservation Commission's survey the facade had been painted and the porch replaced apart from its sheet-metal roof, with metal columns and railings, a stucco ceiling and new infill at the base between its two outer historic brick piers. Owners had added light fixtures, a plaque, three flower holders and tiled steps in the areaway; the original front door survived.
