Colonial Court, including 41-24 47th Street, goes up in one season and sells fast
Colonial Court, bounded by 43rd and Skillman Avenues and 47th and 48th Streets, was the first block built at Sunnyside, begun in early spring 1924 and completed that fall. It held six apartment buildings with six or seven families each, 40 two-family houses and eight one-family houses. The houses, such as 41-24, were meant to be owned by their occupants, and they sold quickly, after which the company moved on to the next block.

The 2007 designation survey found that 41-24's porch had been enclosed in non-historic brick under an asphalt shingle roof, with paired casement windows, a door, a light and a mailbox. Brick that did not match the original had been used to fill in part of the second floor. The front yard kept only a small planting bed beside a concrete driveway.
