When the Landmarks Preservation Commission surveyed it in 2007, its historic door, behind a storm door, and its historic door surround and hood were still in place, as was an original window at the basement. A brick path crosses the front yard.

48-09 joins Harrison Place, the Sunnyside court whose houses all face the street
Harrison Place is made up of 83 row houses in nine rows spread over parts of five tax blocks around 39th Avenue. It is the one Sunnyside Gardens court where every house presents its main facade to the street, each with its own front and back yard. Seven of the nine rows have garden paths behind them, and 25 one-story brick garages stand behind the row between 51st and 52nd Streets.
“…this court is unique in that all primary facades face the street. Although each building has an individual rear and front yard…”
