Wilson Court apartment row goes up along 47th Street with Art Deco brick trim
43-06 47th Street belongs to Wilson Court, a group of eight apartment buildings that the Landmarks Preservation Commission dates to 1928. Seven of them stand attached along 47th Street and the eighth faces 43rd Avenue. They share common-bond brick fronts with Art Deco touches such as slightly projecting diamonds and zigzags, corbels and dentils, and most have a central tower that rises a little above a flat roof.

Star-shaped gable opening tops the central tower of 43-06 47th Street
Six bays wide and nearly a twin of its southern neighbor at 43-12, this building has a gabled central tower pierced by an eight-pointed star opening that has since been filled with concrete. Its central bay still holds historic six-over-six wood windows, while the others were replaced with aluminum sash. Its north wall meets 46-16 43rd Avenue, the Wilson Court building on the corner.
