Inside, there is a modern glazed door with the original fanlight. To the left, there is a slightly advanced bipartite window and a modern garage addition at the far left. On the right side, a canted window is present, along with a curtain wall that has a door at the far right. Gable stacks are located on both the left and right sides.
