1927
39-49 48th Street opens a row of seven Jefferson Court houses facing an inner garden
No. 39-49 is the first of seven row houses built in 1927 across the south side of a U-shaped group in Jefferson Court, Sunnyside Gardens. Like most of the row it has a flat roof, its parapet trimmed with stepped brick patterns, brick corbels and faceted brick colonettes. The fronts face a garden path inside the court rather than a street; No. 39-49 is type B'.

2007
By 2007, 39-49 48th Street has sliding doors and a deck at the back
The side wall of No. 39-49 faces 49th Street, with a brick chimney rising between its two window bays. By the 2007 survey, its windows were vinyl one-over-one sash with snap-in muntins, and at the rear an enlarged opening held paired sliding doors leading to a synthetic wood deck with stairs. The historic door surround remained in front, and the parapet had been rebuilt.
