    No. 39-42 is built in 1925 in the recessed center section of a Hamilton Court row

    This two-story, flat-roofed house went up in 1925 as part of a row of 14 on the west side of 47th Street in Hamilton Court. It belongs to the row's center group, 39-32 through 39-46, which is set back from the street, with decorative soldier, header and projecting brick courses and a corbelled brick cornice at the parapet level, the same decoration used on the other flat-roofed houses in the row.
