    A slate-roofed house with a hipped gable begins the center of Washington Court's Skillman Avenue row

    Built in 1926, 45-05 Skillman Avenue is the first of the center houses in Washington Court's eight-house row, which has flat-roofed houses at each end and pitched-roof houses between them. The Landmarks Preservation Commission lists it as Type G'. Its slate-shingled roof is pitched with the eaves to the street and ends in a hipped gable, a feature the report notes only here and at 45-15, the other end of the center group.

    “The center buildings have slate shingled, eaves front, pitched roofs with hipped gables at 45-05 and 45-15 Skillman Avenue.”
