1924
The house is built as a three-bay row house of the type the report calls F'
Built in 1924, 41-41 is what the Sunnyside Gardens designation report calls a Type F' row house: three bays wide, with the entrance on the right of the ground floor beside two single six-over-six windows, and three evenly spaced windows above. The report illustrates the type with a Tax Department photograph of 41-41 taken around 1940. Most houses of this type had porches, open or later enclosed, paired with those of the mirror-image house next door.
“Type F, F' - Three-bay row house, similar to type A and A', with an additional bay.”

The 2007 designation survey found that 41-41 still had historic six-over-six wood windows, now behind storm sash. Its front porch had been closed in with aluminum siding, a picture window and a new door. At the back, an enclosed wood and glass porch with a shed roof and casement windows ran the full width of the house, and a chimney rose at the north end of the rear wall.
