39-36 44th Street is built in 1927 in a mews row closed by a gable-front end house
No. 39-36 44th Street, a type B' house, was completed in 1927 as part of a Madison Court North row of eight set perpendicular to the street. Its slate-shingled roof runs side to side like those of six of its neighbors, while the end house at 39-40 has an asphalt-shingled gable front set crosswise to them. At the 44th Street edge of the row's shared garden stands a metal railing on a low brick curb.

2007
An air conditioner is bracketed into the bay window of 39-36 44th Street by 2007
In the Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2007 designation report, 39-36 44th Street had vinyl one-over-one windows, an air conditioner bracketed into the center window of its three-part bay, and another unit through the wall below a second-floor window. The historic door surround survived, and the brick and concrete stoop had cast-stone treads with a lengthened metal railing. The back yard had been paved in concrete, raised slightly, given concrete planting beds and enclosed with a chain-link fence.
