Architectural drawings depict a straightforward front elevation clad in masonry, with a vertically oriented facade and minimal applied detailing. A small stoop with metal railings leads to the primary entrance, positioned slightly offset along the front elevation. Window openings are arranged in a simple stacked configuration across both floors. Subtle vertical elements, including shallow pilaster projections, provide limited articulation to the otherwise flat facade. The building massing remains compact and consistent with adjacent rowhouse forms along the block.
No construction timeline has been announced.
