    The City Housing Corporation starts Hamilton Court, its second Sunnyside unit

    Hamilton Court, the block of row houses that includes 39-59 46th Street, was the second unit the City Housing Corporation built at Sunnyside Gardens. Work began in the spring of 1925, and the court, with room for 225 families in single-family and three-family houses, was ready by the close of that summer. The houses sold well, and by early 1926 the company was ready to start 300 more homes.
