    39-99 48th Street, the flat-roofed end house of its 1927 Jefferson Court row

    Built in 1927, 39-99 48th Street is the type T house at the end of its Jefferson Court row, the only flat-roofed one, with bluestone coping at its parapet. Its front faces the interior garden court, and a path through the court's center garden runs south to it. The landmarks survey recorded that the projecting front bay had been rebuilt with a slate-shingled roof, the parapet reconstructed, and the historically open rear porch enclosed in brick. Its side wall carries the address plaque, with brick infill at the first-floor porch and brick openwork above.
