1928
48-05 39th Avenue is built in 1928 with the hipped gable that starts its row's slate roofline
The Harrison Place row on the north side of 39th Avenue between 48th and 50th Streets was built in 1928 as eight two-story houses. 48-05 is the first of the six with slate-shingled, eaves-front pitched roofs, and its roof ends in a hipped gable, matched at the other end of the row by 48-15. It is a type B' house, the mirror image of its type B neighbor 48-03, and the row's houses alternate between those two types all the way to 48-15.
“The slate shingled, pitched roofs of the last six buildings are eaves front with hipped gables at the ends, 48-05 and 48-15 39th Avenue.”
