39-27 44th Street opens a 14-house Lincoln Court row with its side and iron porch on the street
39-27 is the northern end house of a Lincoln Court row of 14 built in 1926, a flat-roofed house set back farther than its neighbors and turned at right angles to face the through-block path. Its three-bay side wall fronts 44th Street, with a two-story cast-iron porch in the middle bay, a door on each floor and six-over-six windows on either side. A chain-link fence on a low concrete curb surrounds the large lawn beside it.

In the 2007 historic district designation report, 39-27 still had its historic enclosed entry porch, one of only two left in its row along with the porch at 39-45. Built of brick, it had off-white or pale yellow trim under a green shed roof. The type R house also kept its historic wood windows with storms and its historic doors, with its bay windows painted black and an antenna on the roof.
