39-59 goes up in 1927 sharing a single cross gable with its neighbor at 39-61
The house was built in 1927 as part of Roosevelt Court in Sunnyside Gardens. At the center of its ten-house row, 39-59 and 39-61 47th Street are joined under one cross gable that interrupts the long run of eaves-front roofs. The front-gabled houses at 39-53 and 39-67 form two more cross gables with the houses beside them, while the flat-roofed houses at either end of the row are turned to face the through-block paths.
