1926
A slate-roofed house is built near the north end of an eleven-house row in Washington Court
This house was built in 1926 in Washington Court, the Sunnyside Gardens court on the east side of 45th Street. It is the second house of a row of eleven, one of four in the row whose slate gable roofs run with the eaves to the street. The rest of the row mixes flat-roofed houses, set back from the street line and topped with cast-stone coping and finials, with projecting bay windows and brick soldier courses.
“The slate shingled, gable roofs of the second, third, tenth and eleventh buildings are eaves front.”

The 2007 district survey listed this house as intact apart from added storm windows and a storm door. It still had historic six-over-six wood windows, a historic door and door surround, a copper gutter and a historic bluestone path through a front yard edged with a cast-stone curb. On the north side, one small four-over-four window on the first floor had been swapped for a jalousie.
“…intact except for added storm windows & door; historic door surround & copper gutter…”
