    39-68 48th Street gets one of the two street-facing gable roofs in its 1925 Roosevelt Court row

    In a ten-house Roosevelt Court row dated 1925, only two houses, 39-54 and 39-68, have slate-shingled gable roofs with the gable end turned to the street; the rest have flat roofs. 39-68 is also the one house in the row whose basement is not entered from under its porch or stoop. Its two-bay south side faces a through-block path.
