  1. 1927

    This 1927 house is built with a door to a path running through the building to the rear of the row

    The only type F house in its 13-house Roosevelt Court row on 48th Street, this flat-roofed house was designed with a door in the third bay of its first floor that opened onto a passage through the building to the rear facades, in place of the six-over-six window that bay would otherwise hold. The door is gone, but a projecting brick lintel of header courses still shows where it stood.
