A tower entrance and ramp mark the garden side of 43-16 48th Street
On its courtyard side, 43-16 48th Street has a tower at its south end that rises a little above the flat roof, with an entrance set slightly back under a denticulated lintel. A concrete ramp leads up to it, still partly fitted with historic iron rails, and the tower keeps historic six-over-six wood windows. The LPC survey notes that the small two-bay courtyard face of 43-20 has an entrance sharing the same platform and ramp.
“…concrete ramp leading to main entrance with historic (at the ramp) and non-historic (at the platform) iron rails; windows in tower are historic six-over-six wood sash…”
