A 2007 survey finds a modern infill in this house's entry portico beneath its original metal roof

When the Landmarks Preservation Commission surveyed Harrison Place in 2007, No. 39-21 was recorded as a type I' house. Its entry portico had been closed in with a modern synthetic stucco infill, though the portico kept its historic standing-seam metal roof, by then painted grey. The front had been cleaned, the windows were vinyl one-over-one replacements, and a metal railing on a low brick wall with piers and cast-stone finials bordered the yard.
