39-62 44th Street gets fan panels and soldier-brick keystones in a 1927 row
39-62 44th Street is one of eight brick row houses completed in 1927 in Madison Court North, facing north across a central lawn. The row's entries come in pairs, each topped by a white-painted elliptical fan panel inside an arched lintel of header bricks with twin soldier-brick keystones. Soldier courses run above the foundation and the big window openings, sills are cast stone, and chimneys break the slate roof after every second house.

When the Landmarks Preservation Commission surveyed 39-62 44th Street for the Sunnyside Gardens Historic District, the house still had wood one-over-one windows behind storm sash and its historic door surround. The brick stoop had a bluestone landing and an extended metal railing. Paired windows had replaced the tripartite front window, and air conditioners sat beneath windows on both floors, with a satellite dish and a pavered yard at the rear.
