1926
39-22 45th Street is built in 1926 in the middle of a Lincoln Court row
This house was put up in 1926 in Lincoln Court, part of the Sunnyside Gardens planned community. It is the fifth house in a nine-house row facing east onto 45th Street, sitting at the center of a row whose two-story flat-roofed and gabled houses follow five different plans. The Commission's survey assigns it Type A, the same layout as 39-18 two doors north.

Brick porch infill and a metal awning mark 39-22 45th Street in the 2007 designation report
By the time Sunnyside Gardens was designated a historic district in 2007, this house's facade had been cleaned and its porch closed in with brick fitted with paired single-pane casements. A brown metal awning sat over the door, a grille covered the basement window, and an air-conditioner projected through the wall near a first-floor window. The brick stoop had cast-stone treads and a metal railing, and brick cheek walls and piers topped with cast-stone finials lined the front areaway.
