    39-69 48th Street rises in 1927 as a gabled row house facing a Jefferson Court garden

    Built in 1927, 39-69 is one of six houses with slate-shingled gable roofs, eaves to the front, in a seven-house Jefferson Court row that forms the northern side of a U around a central court garden. Brick chimneys rise after every pair of gabled houses. Paneled wood door surrounds with hoods on wood brackets mark the entrances, and the two-bay rear wall faces a service driveway and can be seen from 48th and 49th Streets.

    “…brick chimneys extend above the roof after every pair of gable roof buildings.”
