Colonial Court, Sunnyside Gardens' first unit, is built as a community of its own
This house belongs to Colonial Court, which the landmarks report describes as the first unit of Sunnyside Gardens, built in 1924 and planned as a separate community. The court has 48 row houses in seven rows plus six paired apartment buildings, covering one full block and part of the neighboring one. Its six row-house designs were first built as one- and two-family homes, while the apartments were sold as cooperatives.

When the Landmarks Preservation Commission described this two-door row house for the Sunnyside Gardens Historic District, its porch still kept the historic arrangement of an enclosed part and an open part. Vinyl siding now covered the enclosed section and metal columns held up the open one, the porch roof had been tarred, and air-conditioning units had been set into the walls at the basement and both upper floors.
