1926
39-29 44th Street is built in 1926 as a gabled house near the north end of a Lincoln Court row
Finished in 1926, No. 39-29 is the second house from the north in a Lincoln Court row of 14 on the east side of 44th Street, running from 39-27 to 39-55. It and 39-31 carry slate gable roofs with their eaves toward the street. Because the corner house is set back and turned toward the path through the block, 39-29 shows that path a three-bay side wall, with a wood panel in the gable peak and a brick chimney just east of the peak.

2007
The 2007 landmark report finds vinyl windows below and wood sash above at 39-29 44th Street
When the Landmarks Preservation Commission designated Sunnyside Gardens in 2007, its report listed 39-29 44th Street as plan type I'. Vinyl one-over-one windows had gone into the first floor, while the second floor still had wood sash behind storm windows, and paired windows filled both levels. The brick stoop had cast-stone treads and a metal railing, and the front door was a replacement. On the north side, facing the through-block path, an air conditioner was bracketed into the attic window.
