When the Landmarks Preservation Commission surveyed the house for its 2014 report, the cornice had been removed. The original brownstone stoop and primary door survived, along with historic cast-iron newel posts, wrought-iron stoop railings and an iron areaway fence and gate. Later additions included an aluminum awning, a wall lamp beside the entry, an address plate and a painted water table.
