Appearance
The structure has been converted to a duplex at some point since it was surveyed by the Assessor in 1937. There appear to have been several additions at the rear of the structure. Some of the original windows have been replaced with aluminum or vinyl units. The original cladding was replaced or covered with concrete/asbestos siding in the 1950s and some of the original trim work has been lost, particularly at the porch entablature. The entry steps have been altered and the stair sidewalls have been removed. The porch railings have been altered.
