1927
39-22 44th Street is built with its basement at grade on the service driveway behind the court
Like its seven neighbors in this 1927 Madison North court row, 39-22 has a working back side facing a service driveway that cuts through the block. The rear wall has two bays: six-over-six windows in both first-floor openings, and upstairs one six-over-six window beside a smaller four-over-four. The concrete basements sit at or near the level of the driveway, lit by three-pane awning windows, with the basement doors of neighboring houses set side by side.

2007
Designation report finds 39-22 44th Street with wood windows upstairs and a picture window in its front bay
In the 2007 historic district designation report, 39-22 is a type B house with aluminum windows on the first floor but one-over-one wood sash with storms on the second. Its tripartite front bay held a picture window between single-pane vinyl casements, and the concrete stoop kept its historic metal railing, and a scalloped cast-stone curb edged the areaway. At the back, an old basement door survived next to a garage door, and the whole yard had been paved as a raised brick and concrete patio, fenced in chain-link shared with 39-24.
