No. 41-15 went up in 1924 as part of Colonial Court, the opening section of Sunnyside Gardens. It is one of four two-story, flat-roofed houses at 41-11 to 41-19 47th Street, built to a single plan alternating with its mirror image. Brick soldier courses run above the foundation and the upper windows, with cast-stone sills and parapet coping.

When Sunnyside Gardens was designated a historic district in 2007, surveyors noted that 41-15 had a non-historic enclosed porch covered in aluminum siding, with a flagpole on its west side. The brick below the first-floor windows and at the basement had been painted white, and a fiberglass enclosure and metal fence guarded the basement entry. At the back, a metal balcony had been mounted at the second floor.
