This house, built in 1927, is the north end of the row running from 40-10 to 40-30 44th Street, and its three-bay north side looks onto the driveway behind the court's south mews. The backs of these houses were built with paired two-story open porches. In its survey for the 2007 Sunnyside Gardens designation, the Landmarks Preservation Commission found a historic coal chute still in place at the basement, along with a historic wood-and-glass front door and surround, and noted that the house has no basement entry and that its first-floor porch had been filled in with brick.
“A historic coal chute remains at the basement level. ... historic wood & glass door & surround ... no basement entry…”
