    A type I row house with its own basement entry is built in 1927 in Madison Court South

    This house, fourth in the row of ten on 43rd Street in Madison Court South, dates from 1927 and follows the type I plan, paired with the type I' house next door. It is one of the six center houses with flat roofs behind parapets, and like all but the two northernmost houses it has an entry to the basement below its stoop. The row's front yards were laid out as two curbed grass plots on either side of a path of broken red or bluestone, but this one is now paved over entirely and fenced with chain link.

    “The front yards feature two grass areas surrounded by concrete curbs flanking a paved path of broken red or bluestone set in concrete.”
