No. 51-04 is built as the mirror image of 51-22 near the far end of its row
No. 51-04 is one of the four end houses of the twelve-house Harrison Place row with slate-shingled pitched roofs, and its design mirrors No. 51-22 near the opposite corner. Its four-bay back wall has a door, six-over-six and four-over-four windows, and a door paired with a small window. The first bay originally had an open porch at the ground floor and a terrace at the second floor; a full-width brick addition was later built across the rear of the first floor.
“Historically, there was an open porch in the first bay at the first floor and a second-floor terrace.”
