Having finished Colonial Court in 1924, the City Housing Corporation began its second Sunnyside unit, Hamilton Court, in the spring of 1925. The block, which includes No. 39-27 46th Street, held 225 families in single-family and three-family houses; it was done by the end of that summer and sold well. By early 1926 the company was ready to start another 300 homes.

No. 39-27 turns a gabled side wall to the path between Hamilton Court's rows
The north side of No. 39-27 46th Street looks onto the through-block path between Hamilton Court's rows. That two-bay wall once had six-over-six sash on both floors and paired four-over-four windows in the gable; all have since been swapped for one-over-one windows. The house's neighbor at No. 39-25 is turned to face the same path.
