1926
Washington Court's 45th Street row of 13 houses goes up, with 39-27 under a slate eaves-front roof
In 1926 the Washington Court section of Sunnyside Gardens gained a row of 13 two-story houses on the east side of 45th Street, numbered 39-07 through 39-33. The row mixes flat roofs and gabled roofs with attics across three house types. 39-27, lot 36 of Block 154 and the eleventh house in the row, is one of six whose slate-shingled gable roofs run parallel to the street, while the flat-roofed third, fourth, fifth, eighth, ninth and tenth houses step back from the building line.
“The slate shingled, gable roofs of the first, second, sixth, seventh, eleventh and twelfth buildings are eaves front.”
