This row house belongs to Hamilton Court, the second block the City Housing Corporation developed at Sunnyside Gardens. Work started in the spring of 1925 and the court was finished by late summer, with room for 225 families in single-family and three-family houses. The homes sold well, and early in 1926 the company was ready to start on another 300.

The house turns a two-bay side wall toward Hamilton Court's through-block path
The house's south side, two bays wide, looks onto the path that runs through the block. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2007 survey found one-over-one sash in place of the original six-over-six windows on both floors of that side, and a single picture window in the gable where a pair of four-over-four windows once was.
