This house was built in 1926 in a row of twelve on the east side of 45th Street in Washington Court, the Sunnyside Gardens court on the block between 45th and 46th Streets. It is the second house from the north, one of four in the row with a hipped roof that stands forward of the six recessed center houses. The flat-roofed end houses turn sideways to face the through-block paths.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2007 survey found that this house retained six-over-six and smaller four-over-four wood windows, with storm sash, on its first floor and on its north side wall facing the through-block path; the second floor had aluminum one-over-one windows. The commission also noted a red metal awning over the door, a white-painted front bay, and asphalt shingles and a skylight on the roof.
