1927
39-70 44th Street is built with a bay window in a Madison Court North row
Completed in 1927, the house is a type B row house in an eight-house row of Madison Court North set at right angles to 44th Street. The large window openings in this row hold either projecting bays or flat three-part windows, and soldier courses of brick run above the foundation and over the big lintels. Sills are cast stone, and small planted front yards are divided from the central lawn by a concrete path.
“The large window openings have either projecting bays or flat, tripartite windows.”

In its 2007 survey the commission recorded that the projecting bay of 39-70 44th Street, block 182, lot 99, was clad in aluminum, and the side windows of the bay were single panes. The concrete stoop kept its historic metal railing, a mailbox hung near the door and a flat panel sat above it. At the back, one first-floor opening had been enlarged for a door and another reduced, and a wood picket fence surrounded the raised, concrete-paved yard.
