    48-01 39th Avenue opens a 1928 Harrison Place row with a checkerboard-brick parapet

    This flat-roofed house is the first of eight Harrison Place row houses built in 1928 on the north side of 39th Avenue between 48th and 50th Streets. It and its neighbor 48-03 sit slightly behind the streetwall. Their parapets carry square and diagonal checkerboard brickwork, stepped corbelled piers and a denticulated cornice, while the six houses beyond them have slate pitched roofs.
