39-17 47th Street rises in 1927 as one of the gable-roofed pair ending its Roosevelt Court row
No. 39-17 and its neighbor No. 39-19 are the two southernmost houses in the 1927 Roosevelt Court row on the east side of 47th Street, and the only two with slate-shingled gable roofs running parallel to the street. They are also the only houses in the row without concrete steps down to a basement door. The four-bay back of No. 39-17, barely visible from 48th Street, mirrors that of No. 39-19.
“…the slate shingled, gable roofs of 39-17 and 39-19 47th Street, the two southernmost buildings, are eaves front.”
