    A gable-roofed house closes the end of a Jefferson Court row on 48th Street

    The last of seven 1927 houses in its Jefferson Court row, 39-61 is a type S' and the only one in the group with an eaves-front gable roof; the other six have flat roofs. Its back, four bays wide, faces a service driveway seen from 48th and 49th Streets. Its first rear bay historically held an open brick porch, which has since been enclosed in brick.

    “The last building has an eaves front, gable roof, while the other six buildings have flat roofs.”
