    The south end house of Washington Court's 1926 row at 39-85 45th Street faces the through-block path

    No. 39-85 closes the southern end of an eleven-house row built in 1926 for Sunnyside Gardens' Washington Court. Its three-bay south wall faces the path that cuts through the block, with a white vent in the gable and a small grassy side yard behind a chain-link fence. By 2007 one-over-one sash had replaced the original six-over-six and four-over-four windows on that side. At the back, its center bays have full-size six-over-six windows in place of the smaller four-over-four sash used next door.
