39-61 44th Street breaks a flat-roofed 1926 row with a street-facing slate gable
In a Lincoln Court row of ten houses built in 1926, most with flat roofs trimmed in patterned brick, 39-61 44th Street stands out with a slate-shingled gable roof turned toward the street. It is the second house from the north end, and its three-bay north side faces the through-block path. On that wall the second floor keeps a four-over-four and two six-over-six wood windows, and the first floor one smaller historic four-over-four window.

Recording the type E house at 39-61 44th Street for the Sunnyside Gardens Historic District, the Landmarks Preservation Commission found a historic wood-and-glass front door with its hood and surround intact. Brick and concrete steps between brick cheek walls and piers led to the entry. Aluminum windows had replaced the first-floor sash, but six-over-six and four-over-four wood windows with storms remained on the upper floors.
