Lincoln Court's block receives its declaration of easements and restrictions
Sunnyside Gardens buyers signed covenants that bound them to the architects' shared gardens and uniform design and barred speculative resale for three years. The declaration the Landmarks Preservation Commission obtained for Blocks 154 and 155 is dated December 31, 1925; this house stands on Block 155, the Lincoln Court block. At the mortgage banks' insistence, most of these easements were set to last 40 years, generally until 1966, rather than permanently.
“…we have copies of the easements for Blocks 154 and 155 (dated December 31, 1925)…”

Three-bay Lincoln Court house keeps its historic stoop railing
Read more
No. 39-49 is a type I' house, three bays wide, in Lincoln Court's 1926 row on 44th Street, with paired windows on the first floor and a projecting bay on the second. The 2007 landmark survey found that its brick stoop with cast-stone treads still had its historic metal railing. By then the second-floor bay had been clad in aluminum and a red metal awning hung over the door.
