This house went up in 1926 in a row of 14 houses lining the west side of 45th Street in Lincoln Court, one of the courts of Sunnyside Gardens. It is the second house from the row's north end, one of four in the row topped by a slate-shingled gable roof set with its eaves to the street. Its three-bay side wall faces the through-block path that leads to the shared garden behind the row.

When the Landmarks Preservation Commission documented Sunnyside Gardens in 2007, it recorded that the center windows on both floors of this house's north side wall had been reduced in size. A new opening with a one-over-one window had been cut into the gable end, where an air conditioner and an antenna also projected; vinyl one-over-one sash had replaced the original six-over-six windows, and the projecting front bay had been clad over.
