It was raised to full four stories in 1881. During further alterations in 1920, the stoop was removed and a two-story storefront extension was installed.
The existing facade features planar brick, a bracketed roof cornice, a cornice at the second story, and side piers on the 1920 storefront extension. The details of the window lintels have been removed. The neo-Grec cornice may date to the 1881 extension.
