    47-17 39th Avenue goes up in 1928 as the ninth house of a ten-house Harrison Place row

    This two-story row house went up in 1928 in Harrison Place, one of the courts of Sunnyside Gardens, on the north side of 39th Avenue between 47th and 48th Streets. It is a type B house under a slate-shingled, eaves-front pitched roof, next to the flat-roofed house that ends the row. Like its neighbors it has a basement entry under the stoop, brick soldier coursing above the foundation, a paneled wood door surround with a hood, and a grassy front yard edged by a low curb.
