   The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2014 report lists the primary door of this house as original, now fronted by an added pair of metal-and-glass doors. The upper windows were a mix of old and new; storm windows had been added, along with non-historic grilles on the first-story windows. A metal hood had been put over the basement entrance and an awning over the main one.
