1927
39-32 44th Street is built in 1927 with its back to a Madison Court North service drive
Completed in 1927, 39-32 44th Street is a type B' house in one of Madison Court North's rows of eight, set perpendicular to the street. Like the rest of the row, its two-bay rear wall faces a service driveway through the block that can be partly seen from 44th and 45th Streets. The row's concrete basements have three-pane awning windows at grade, and concrete steps lead down to basement doors set in alternating pairs.

The 2007 designation report for Sunnyside Gardens found that 39-32 44th Street still had the historic metal railing on its concrete stoop and its historic door surround, although a newer wood door with an aluminum storm door had been hung. One-over-one windows flanked a picture window in its aluminum-clad, three-part bay, a flagpole was attached to the stoop railing, and a light post stood in the shared green. The paved back yard was raised, with planting beds of concrete and brick.
