    The end house of a 1927 Jefferson Court row turns its side wall toward 49th Street

    No. 39-79 is the last house in its Jefferson Court row of 1927: its front faces the interior garden court, and its east side wall looks out on 49th Street. The Landmarks Preservation Commission noted a historic door surround and hood whose roof is painted white, and on the 49th Street side vinyl windows with six-over-six and four-over-four snap-in muntins. At the back, a widened opening leads to a concrete deck with brick steps, and a large slate-shingled dormer with three windows rises from the roof.
