49-11 closes the pitched-roof run of its Harrison Place row with a hipped gable
Built in 1928 as part of the Harrison Place court, 49-11 39th Avenue is the sixth house in a row of nine two-story houses facing south onto 39th Avenue. The first six share slate-shingled roofs with eaves to the street, finished with hipped gables at 49-01 at the west end and at this house. The three houses to its east have flat roofs and stand a little behind the street wall, so the row changes shape right at 49-11.
“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.”
