  1. 1928

    49-05 39th Avenue is built in 1928 among six slate-roofed houses of a Harrison Place row

    This house is one of the six pitched-roof houses that open the 1928 Harrison Place row on the north side of 39th Avenue, between the hipped-gable ends at 49-01 and 49-11. Its door has a paneled wood surround and a hood held on brackets or columns, and its sills are projecting header-course brick. At the back, partly visible from the park path, the first floor originally had paired six-over-six windows and a door beside a four-over-four window.

    “The slate shingled, pitched roofs of the first six buildings are eaves front with hipped gables at the ends, 49-01 and 49-11 39th Avenue.”
