    Alone among the six 1926 Washington Court houses on this stretch of 39th Avenue, 45-14 still had six-over-six wood windows, now behind storm sash, when the Landmarks Preservation Commission surveyed it. The Type G house also keeps its original door surround and a historic metal stair railing, with a cobblestone curb at the front yard. At the back, the second-floor porch has been closed in as a screen porch under a corrugated plexiglass roof, and a dormer carries an air conditioner.
