    Built in 1925, 39-64 is one of six flat-roofed houses at the center of a ten-house row in Roosevelt Court, all set back from the street. When the Landmarks Preservation Commission described the row in 2007, it named this house as the one where historic windows still survived. The decoration matches its neighbors: geometric brick coursing, a denticulated brick cornice, stepped piers, a projecting bay window and wood pilasters, with a small grassy front yard edged by a low curb.
