    This house was built in 1927 in a row of 13 houses on the east side of 47th Street that form part of Roosevelt Court. When the district was surveyed in 2007, the report singled out this house as the one where the historic open porch, with its wood deck, door and windows, survived. Its six-over-six windows were also original, with storm sash added.

    “The historic open porch with wood deck, windows and door remain on 39-37 47th Street.”
