A slate gable turned toward 47th Street sets this Hamilton Court house apart from its row
39-58 went up in 1925 as the eighth house in a Hamilton Court row of nine, counted from 39-78 at the south end. The three gabled houses at that end have their roof ridges running along the street, but the slate-shingled gable of 39-58 points toward 47th Street. It is also one of only two houses in the row, with 39-78, that lack a basement entrance tucked beneath the porch.
“The slate shingled, gable roof of the eighth building, 39-58 47th Street, faces the street.”
