1927
39-02 44th Street is built in the one Madison Court North row that faces the street
Madison Court North, built in 1927, set most of its houses in paired mews at right angles to the street, so that few houses would face the plain rows of neighboring builders. The row of four at 39-02 to 39-08 44th Street is the exception, facing 44th Street, with side gable roofs, tripartite windows on both floors and white fan panels over paired doors. A path runs behind the four houses from Barnett Avenue to the service driveway behind the north mews.
“…set perpendicular to the street, in six, paired rows of eight buildings fronting a central court garden, with the exception of the northernmost row that faces 44th Street…”
