    39-21 49th Street swaps its paired windows for a shingled bay

    This type B' house was built in 1927 as part of Harrison Place's thirteen-house row on the east side of 49th Street. In the 2007 landmark survey, the commission noted that a projecting bay sheathed in asphalt shingles had replaced the original paired six-over-six windows. The house still had its historic front door, fitted with a grille, and its historic door hood, now carried on metal brackets, along with air conditioners set through the walls of both floors.
