1925
39-84 48th Street is built in 1925 with a slate gable roof near the south end of its row
Dated 1925 in the Landmarks report, the house belongs to Roosevelt Court's six-house row on 48th Street. While the northern houses of the row have flat roofs edged with decorative brickwork, 39-84 and its neighbor 39-88, the two southernmost houses, were given slate-shingled gable roofs with their eaves facing the street. Unlike 39-76, 39-80 and 39-88, it has a basement entry framed by concrete cheek walls.
“The slate shingled, gable roofs of 39-84 and 39-88 48th Street, the two southernmost buildings, are eaves front.”

The 2007 designation survey lists the house as type F' on block 148, lot 79. Its front porch had been closed in with non-historic brick around a door and a fixed multi-pane window, under a rigid metal awning, and the basement had sliding windows. The second-floor terrace kept a historic door with a storm door, and at the back the third floor had asphalt shingle siding with a six-over-six window, a historic door and a metal railing.
