    Corner house at 50th Street ends a 1928 row of ten with zigzag brickwork

    No. 49-20 is the eastern end of a row of ten two-story houses built in 1928 on the south side of 39th Avenue for the Harrison Place court. Like 49-02 at the other end, of which it is a mirror image, it has a flat roof, sits back from the streetwall and carries a brick parapet with zigzag and triangle patterns and stepped corner piers. Its three-bay rear once had an open two-story porch, which has since been enclosed.
