By 2010 866 Woodward Avenue has a cleaned facade but a new aluminum door
The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2010 survey found that the amber brick front had been cleaned and repointed. Its carved stone door hood, limestone lintels and off-white swagged cornice remained, but the entry had a non-historic aluminum door with sidelight and transom, the stoop had been rebuilt in tile and cast stone, and two security cameras were mounted on the front.
