A 1925 Roosevelt Court corner house shows three faces, with a cast-iron porch toward 48th Street
No. 39-74 ends its 1925 Roosevelt Court row and turns its front toward the through-block path rather than the street. On its 48th Street side, the center bay has a door on each floor, both opening onto a historic cast-iron porch two stories high; the one-over-one windows beside them took the place of six-over-six sash. The Landmarks Preservation Commission noted bay windows painted white and brown with silver roofs on the path front, terra-cotta coping at the roof, and a concrete driveway in the large side yard; the west side faces the court garden.
