Deed restrictions for this block of Sunnyside Gardens are recorded before the house is built
The City Housing Corporation's declaration of easements for Block 133, the tax block that holds 39-24 49th Street, is dated September 15, 1926. Buyers in Sunnyside Gardens signed such covenants when they bought their lots; because the mortgage banks insisted, most were written to run for forty years, generally to 1966.

The south end house of a Harrison Place row turns its side to the through-block path
Completed in 1927, 39-24 49th Street closes the south end of a row of seven Harrison Place houses on the west side of 49th Street. Like 39-22 beside it, it has a slate-shingled pitched roof. Its three-bay south wall looks onto the through-block path, with six-over-six sash in the outer bays, smaller four-over-four sash originally in the center, and a window in the gable; the house has no side yard.

Original wood windows still survive at 39-24 49th Street at its landmarking
The 2007 designation survey found that 39-24 49th Street still had six-over-six wood windows, now backed by storm sash, along with its historic door hood and surround, whose little roof had been painted white. The facade had been repointed. At the back, the first floor had been filled in with vertical wood boards and two multi-light casements, a wood rail ran along the second floor, and the roof had two skylights.
