This house belongs to Hamilton Court, the second unit the City Housing Corporation built at Sunnyside Gardens. Work started in the spring of 1925, and by the end of that summer the court was ready, with room for 225 families in single-family and three-family houses. The houses sold well, and by May 1, 1926 the company had built homes for roughly 600 families across Sunnyside.

39-41 46th Street rises as one of the flat-roofed, set-back center houses of a 14-house Hamilton Court row
Number 39-41 is part of a 1925 Hamilton Court row of 14 two-story houses running from 39-25 to 39-51 46th Street. The flat-roofed middle houses, 39-31 through 39-45, sit back from the street line, while the end houses turn sideways to face the through-block paths. Their parapets carry bluestone coping above patterned brick: soldier, stretcher and header courses, a corbelled cornice, stepped piers and concrete panels.
