48-12 39th Avenue is built as a Type J house with wide eight-over-eight windows
Built in 1927 as part of Harrison Place, 48-12 is a Type J house, three bays wide with one broad and one standard window on each floor beside the entry. By the 2007 survey, pairs of one-over-one vinyl windows had replaced the eight-over-eight sash in the wide openings. The historic door surround survived, its hood roof painted white, and a wood addition stood at the rear first floor with a wood railing on the floor above.
