1927
A slate-roofed row house is built for Harrison Place on 49th Street
39-33 49th Street dates from 1927 and stands near the south end of the thirteen-house Harrison Place row on the east side of 49th Street. It and its neighbors at 39-31 and 39-35 have slate-shingled pitched roofs, setting them apart from the flat-roofed center houses. The commission classes it as type G, the counterpart of the type G' house beside it at 39-31, and its door was given a paneled wood surround and hood.
“The first two and last three buildings, 39-09, 39-11, 39-31, 39-33 and 39-35 49th Street, have slate shingled, eaves front, pitched roofs.”

The commission's 2007 survey recorded a cleaned brick facade at 39-33 49th Street, with the historic basement door and metal railing still in place, and a clear plastic awning covered the window well. The historic door hood and surround at the main entry remained, with a light and flagpole beside it. A non-historic three-part bay with a standing-seam metal roof projected from the first floor, and ice guards lined the roof.
