39-48 47th Street rises in 1925 as one of four slate-roofed gabled houses in its Hamilton Court row
Built in 1925 as part of Hamilton Court's 14-house row on the west side of 47th Street, 39-48 is a two-story-plus-attic house with a gable roof. It is one of four in the row, with 39-28, 39-30 and 39-50, whose slate-shingled roofs run parallel to the street, framing the flat-roofed houses between them. The row mixes three house types and their mirror images, with flat-roofed end houses turned to face the footpaths.
