41-22 47th Street is built in Colonial Court, Sunnyside's self-contained first section
Clarence Stein described Colonial Court, the first section of Sunnyside Gardens built in 1924, as planned to stand as its own community. It comprises 48 row houses in seven rows plus six apartment buildings set in pairs; 41-22 sits in the row on the west side of 47th Street. The row houses came in six designs and were first built as homes for one or two families, while the apartments were sold as cooperatives.

When the district was designated in 2007, 41-22 had a non-historic enclosed porch covered in aluminum siding, with a single-pane window, a door, a metal awning and a mailbox facing the street. The porch roof was asphalt shingle, and there was spot repointing above the second-floor windows and at the parapet. The front yard had been paved as a concrete driveway behind a chain-link fence.
