39-46 47th Street is built in a 14-house Hamilton Court row facing 47th Street
Hamilton Court's row of 14 houses on the west side of 47th Street, numbers 39-26 to 39-52, dates from 1925. The eight middle houses, 39-32 through 39-46, have flat roofs and stand back from the street line, trimmed with bluestone coping and geometric bands of soldier, stretcher and header brick. No. 39-46 is the southernmost of that recessed, flat-roofed group.

The district survey of 39-46 47th Street found its porch filled in with modern brick, a new door with a light and awning, and a flagpole on the front. A projecting window bay with an asphalt-shingle roof had been added on the south side, and air-conditioner units projected through the walls at both floors. Aluminum one-over-one windows had replaced the original sash, and the parapet had metal coping, with an antenna on the roof.
