1926
No. 39-76 is built in the setback center of Washington Court's 46th Street row
No. 39-76, dated 1926, is the sixth of eleven houses in a Washington Court row on 46th Street, counted from the south end. It belongs to the group of six flat-roofed houses recessed from the street, and together with 39-78 it stands a little less far back than the other four. Brick soldier courses run above the foundation and the second-floor windows, and wood panels in an elliptical shape sit over the paired doors.
“The flat roof, center six buildings are recessed from the streetwall, with the fifth and sixth buildings slightly less recessed.”

The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2007 survey recorded that the porch of 39-76 had been wrapped in aluminum siding, with a pair of single-pane sliding windows at the front and a picture window on the side. A replacement door with an aluminum storm door opens from a concrete step with a metal railing, and a scalloped cast-stone curb set on concrete edges the front yard.
