2007
Most of Roosevelt Court's shared garden space has become private yards
Roosevelt Court, which includes 39-81 47th Street, has 74 row houses in eight rows covering most of the block between 47th and 48th Streets north of Skillman Avenue, laid out around four interior garden courts. By the 2007 designation, most of that common ground had been taken into private yards behind individual fences, the interior paths were gone, and the shared lawns of the two southernmost gardens had disappeared entirely.
