    Hamilton Court Association president Jack Freeman explains why the court's gardens survived

    In a May 2007 interview for the Landmarks Preservation Commission, Jack Freeman, president of the Hamilton Court Association, said that when the easements guarding the interior gardens ran out in the 1960s, Hamilton Court residents voted to extend them permanently. As a result, all three row-house garden courts on the block that includes 39-43 46th Street were still whole, edged with stone or brick curbs and old privet hedges.

    When the Landmarks Preservation Commission surveyed Sunnyside Gardens in 2007, 39-43 46th Street, a type A' house in Hamilton Court's 1925 row, had a non-historic porch enclosure of vertical wood siding. It had a door and one-over-one window on the north side and a picture window with snap-in muntins facing west. The survey also noted vinyl one-over-one windows, an alarm box, an air-conditioner unit and metal coping on the repointed parapet.
