A flat-roofed brick row house with a patterned parapet is built in Roosevelt Court
Number 39-56 is the first of the flat-roofed center houses, 39-56 through 39-66, that sit back from the streetwall in Roosevelt Court's 1925 row on 48th Street. These fronts are dressed in brick laid in soldier, stretcher and header courses, with a toothed brick cornice, stepped piers and openwork or recessed panels at the parapet. Bay windows, wood pilasters and projecting brick sills complete the design.
“The flat roof center buildings, 39-56 to 39-66 48th Street, are recessed from the street wall.”
