40-17 48th Street pairs with its neighbor and shows its back to 49th Street
Built in 1926 with 40-15 as the base of a U-shaped group in Jefferson Court, this gabled type K' house is the mirror image of its neighbor, with its front on the garden court and its rear on 49th Street, where it is also known as 39-70 49th Street. The 2007 landmark survey recorded a later enclosed brick porch with five casement windows, metal steps up to the second-floor terrace, and a flagpole at the porch.
