1927
39-28 44th Street is built in 1927 with a big front window bay, soldier brick and a plain door hood
39-28 belongs to a 1927 Madison North court row of eight that faces a garden court rather than 44th Street. Each house in the row was given a large front window treated either as a projecting bay or as a flat three-part window, with a simple hood over the door and a band of upright soldier bricks just above the foundation. The window sills are cast stone rather than projecting header brick.

Brick patch marks a removed air conditioner on the front of 39-28 44th Street
The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2007 designation report listed the house as type B' with vinyl windows and a one-over-one sash between single-pane windows in its aluminum-clad front bay. A through-wall air conditioner below the bay had been taken out and the hole filled with brick. The roof was partly tarred and had two skylights, and the slightly raised back yard was covered by a wood deck inside a picket fence.
