    The row's crosswise end house loses its two-story cast-iron porch to an enclosed wood one

    No. 39-55 heads a nine-house Hamilton Court row, set back and turned to face the through-block path, so its three-bay side looks onto 46th Street. A non-historic enclosed wood porch on the first floor now covers two of those bays where a two-story cast-iron porch once stood, and the second-floor middle door opens onto a terrace. A wide lawn with a low concrete curb fills the side yard.
