    A 1927 Jefferson Court house faces the garden court in front and 49th Street behind

    No. 39-81 48th Street is entered from Jefferson Court's interior garden, while its back faces 49th Street and carries a second address, 39-54 49th Street. The Landmarks Preservation Commission found the historic door hood, surround and columns intact at the court front, where four casements have replaced the original paired six-over-six windows. On the 49th Street side, a non-historic brick porch with four slightly projecting casements under an asphalt-shingle roof encloses the first floor, and about two-thirds of that yard has been paved.
