No. 39-36 closes its Washington Court row with a cast-iron porch facing 46th Street
No. 39-36, a flat-roofed house of the type the report calls R', is the northern end of a 12-house Washington Court row, set farther back and turned toward the through-block path. Its three-bay side wall faces 46th Street, where the center bay had a two-story cast-iron porch with doors on both floors, flanked by six-over-six windows.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2007 survey of Sunnyside Gardens recorded that the historic cast-iron porch on the street side of No. 39-36 had been removed. A brick enclosure now fills the first floor there, with a projecting window bay on a copper base facing east and a door on its north side. At the entry porch facing the path, the window openings had been reduced and the old doorways bricked in.
