Dating from 1927, 39-25 49th Street is part of the thirteen-house Harrison Place row on the east side of 49th Street. The commission classes it as type B', a mirror image of the neighboring type B houses with the entry on the right. Like the other flat-roofed houses in the middle of the row, it stands slightly behind the street line, and its parapet is trimmed with decorative brickwork.

In the 2007 designation survey, 39-25 49th Street still had bluestone coping along its parapet and a concrete stoop finished with bluestone pavers or tiles and a metal railing. Its historic door surround and hood survived on non-historic metal brackets. The basement had a sliding window behind a guard, the upper windows were vinyl with snap-in muntins, and two antennas stood on the roof.
