    39-97 48th Street joins a 1927 row of gabled houses facing a Jefferson Court garden

    This two-story-plus-attic house, a type B in the Sunnyside Gardens report, was built in 1927 in Jefferson Court with its front door opening onto the interior garden court. The landmarks survey found its original door, now fitted with a grille, still in place under the historic hood. A picture window between casements had replaced the paired six-over-six sash on the first floor, and a wood deck with steps had been built at the rear.
