The 1927 row of eight that includes 39-68 44th Street, a type B' house, turns its rear walls to a service driveway visible from both 43rd and 44th Streets. Each two-bay back wall had six-over-six windows below and one six-over-six and one smaller four-over-four window above. Concrete basements with three-pane awning windows sit at the level of the drive, entered through doors set in alternating pairs.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2007 survey of 39-68 44th Street, block 182, lot 98, noted an antenna and a satellite dish mounted on the chimney and ice guards on the roof. A planter box hung on the extended metal railing of the front steps, and a flat panel sat above the door. Behind, the painted basement had two jalousie windows, and a chain-link fence with a gate to the path enclosed the raised, concrete-paved yard.
