1926
A two-bay row house in Jefferson Court faces a garden court instead of the street
This house is one of seven in a row put up in 1926 on the north side of a U-shaped group in Sunnyside Gardens' Jefferson Court, its front turned toward the shared garden rather than 48th Street. The Landmarks Preservation Commission classed it as type A', a two-bay design that mirrors the type A house beside it. By the time of the 2007 designation its porch had been closed in with aluminum cladding, with paired sliding windows at the front and an asphalt shingle roof.
