No. 39-41 is built in 1927 with a steep gable roof that holds a third story
This is the eleventh of 13 row houses built in 1927 on the east side of 47th Street for Roosevelt Court. Unlike the flat-roofed houses in the middle of the row, it has a slate-shingled gable roof with its eaves to the street, pitched steeply enough to fit a third floor. Its front yard rises from the sidewalk to two raised planting beds held by a stone retaining wall.
“The slated shingled, gable roofs of the first, second, eleventh and twelfth buildings are eaves front and pitched steeply to create a third story.”
