    A 1927 Jefferson Court row house opens onto a shared garden court instead of 48th Street

    No. 39-73 is one of the 1927 Jefferson Court houses at Sunnyside Gardens whose front doors face an interior garden court rather than the street. The Landmarks Preservation Commission recorded its historic door surround and hood still in place, while a pair of single-pane sliding windows now fills the first floor. At the back, a widened opening leads out to a concrete deck with steps and a metal rail, and a large dormer clad in composite siding, holding four windows, has been added to the roof.
