    The Sunnyside Gardens designation report lists 39-59 48th Street (block 133, lot 23) as a type G house whose front, facing the garden court, keeps its historic door surround with a green-painted hood. The rear had been reworked: a two-story cast-iron porch that was not original, doorways enlarged on both floors, an added window, and a brick deck and stairs, with brick pavers and a lattice fence in the yard.
