1928
47-01's row is one of nine that make up Harrison Place, the Sunnyside court whose houses all face the street
This house heads the row of ten at 47-01 to 47-19 39th Avenue, one of nine rows holding the 83 houses of Harrison Place. Unlike Sunnyside's other courts, every Harrison Place house fronts the street. Because the rows do not fill whole blocks, the court has only one central garden, much of it since fenced into private yards, and garden paths run behind seven of the nine rows.
“The 83 row houses of Harrison Place are divided in to nine rows... this court is unique in that all primary facades face the street.”

The Type B' end house of this 1928 row turns a solid, repointed brick wall with no openings toward the west. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's survey found its historic wood door still in place behind a storm door, with the original paneled surround and hood above it. A picture window with a grille fills the first floor, a flagpole stands near the entrance, and a low wood picket fence on a concrete curb edges the front yard.
