    The only gable-front house in its Lincoln Court row turns its slate roof toward 45th Street

    Built in 1926 as part of Lincoln Court, this gabled house is second from the north end of a ten-house row on 45th Street. The report singles out its slate-shingled roof as the one in the row whose gable faces the street, while the two houses at the south end have their eaves to the front. Its neighbors include six flat-roofed houses with enclosed porches and patterned brick parapets.
