A single, fixed wood window is located at the first floor of the east façade. Decorative wood shutters flank five windows at the second floor on the primary (east) façade and all but one window at the primary (south) façade. The low-pitched, hipped roof with little overhang contains exposed rafters throughout. The exterior of the residence is clad in original sand-finished stucco. A single apartment entrance is located at the first floor of the south façade facing Wellington Avenue; another single apartment entrance is at the second floor of the west façade; the remaining apartment entrances are located on the first and second floors of the east façade facing Lacy Street (with nine total primary apartment entrances). Only the primary (south) façade entrance has wood molding and trim. The nine main entrance doors are each composed of a six-panel, solid wood door with brass hardware and a Judas window. Eight secondary/rear doors located on the building’s west and north façades (at the first and second floors) are wood material with a single upper light. Two additional, secondary pedestrian doors (solid wood doors with six panels) are at the attached garage’s rear (west) façade. Two wood staircases (made entirely of wood) leading to two wood balconies are at the rear (west) façade, along with a third entirely wood staircase at the building’s southwest corner at the rear (west) façade. These staircases and balconies serve the second floor, secondary entrances at the building’s rear. At the east façade, two exterior wood staircases with concrete steps and wood handrails and guardrails lead to the second floor’s main apartment entrances. These staircases each have an extended roof overhang serving as a covered balcony for the second floor units; the concrete staircases also provide a covered entry for the first floor entrances situated below them. Concrete platforms with two concrete steps serve the first floor main entrances on all facades throughout the building.
