    Hamilton Court's 1925 row puts a gable-roofed house at 39-03 46th Street, the mirror of its corner neighbor

    No. 39-03 is the second house in a twelve-house row on the east side of 46th Street, built in 1925 as part of Sunnyside Gardens' Hamilton Court. Like the corner house at 39-01, it has a gable roof with its eaves to the street, and the two houses have four-bay rear walls laid out as mirror images of each other. These two are also the only houses in the row without a basement entrance.

    The Sunnyside Gardens designation report uses 39-03 46th Street to illustrate its three-bay Type G house

    In its 2007 report on the Sunnyside Gardens Historic District, the Landmarks Preservation Commission sorted the row houses into lettered types and chose a photograph of 39-03 46th Street to show Type G. That type is three bays wide, with its door at the left of the ground floor, a center bay of paired windows, a three-part window or a projecting bay, and three evenly spaced windows upstairs. The entry may be trimmed with a paneled wood surround and a hood on brackets or columns, an elliptical wood panel, or decorative brickwork.

    “Type G, G' – Three-bay row house. The first floor features the building entry on left ... 39-03 46th Street…”
