    The 2007 designation report for the Sunnyside Gardens Historic District sorts the neighborhood's row houses into types, and it pictures 44-15 Skillman Avenue as its example of Type T. That design is a four-bay, flat-roofed house with an enclosed brick entry porch under a slate-shingled gable with slightly flared eaves, a slate-roofed shed projection holding paired windows, and a bracketed bay window upstairs. Its parapet carries brick corbels and faceted brick colonettes and steps up above the bay.

    “Type T, T' – Four-bay row house. ... This row house type, always designed with a flat roof ... 44-15 Skillman Avenue…”
