Corner house opens Madison Court's row of six on Skillman Avenue
This 1927 house is the western end of a row of six slate-roofed, two-story-plus-attic houses in Madison Court South, built in one design and its mirror image. Its three-bay side wall faces 43rd Street, with a smaller window in the middle bay on both floors and a painted wood vent in the gable. Today it has a green metal awning over the entry, a light and mailbox by the door and grilles on the first-floor windows.

May 2
Madison Court's block gets its declaration of easements
The declaration of easements for Block 182, home to this row, is dated May 2, 1927. Owners signed such covenants when they bought, and at the banks' insistence most were set to run about forty years, generally to 1966. A few were permanent, keeping utility rights and setbacks for light and air, and at Madison Court the walks through some common gardens were also protected forever.
