    Flat-topped tower and stepped parapet set 43-16 apart in the Wilson Court row

    Unlike the gabled towers of its neighbors at 43-06 and 43-12, the six-bay Wilson Court building at 43-16 47th Street has a central tower with a flat roof behind a stepped parapet. Six projecting header-bond string courses run beneath its first-floor windows, and diamond-patterned brick sits over the recessed entrance. Its central bay keeps historic six-over-six wood windows, and Art Deco zigzags, corbels and dentils trim the top of the facade.

    “…the central tower rises slightly above the flat roofline and is topped with a flat roof with a stepped parapet…”
