    39-56 44th Street closes its 1927 row with a gable end above the 43rd Street garages

    Finished in 1927 as the western end house of a Madison Court North row, 39-56 44th Street turns a two-bay side wall toward 43rd Street, standing above and behind the court's garages. The Landmarks Preservation Commission noted that this wall has no second-floor windows, only a white-painted wooden vent in the gable peak, while a brick chimney rises from the low southern side of the roof. One-over-one sash had replaced the historic six-over-six windows on the first floor.
