Roosevelt Court's 13-house row on 48th Street, this house among them, goes up in 1927
The Landmarks Preservation Commission dates the Roosevelt Court row running from 39-22 to 39-46 48th Street to 1927. Its 13 two-story brick houses come in three designs. Four of them, near the two ends, carry steep slate-shingled gables with an attic story, while the flat-roofed houses in the middle, No. 39-36 among them, stand back from the line of the street.

When the commission catalogued each house in the row for the 2007 Sunnyside Gardens designation, No. 39-36, a type A' house, still had its historic porch enclosure, fitted with six-over-six or four-over-four wood sash, and wood lattice beneath the porch. The rest of the front had vinyl one-over-one windows, and the basement had a newer door and sliding windows behind grilles. Cast-stone coping topped the parapet.
