Flat-roofed center houses like No. 51-08 sit back from the Harrison Place streetwall
No. 51-08 is one of the flat-roofed houses in the middle of the twelve-house row, set slightly behind the gabled houses at each end. Their parapets carry bluestone coping and brickwork in projecting scallops, stepped corbelled piers and soldier, header and hourglass patterns, and most entrances have a paneled wood surround with a hood on wood brackets or columns. No. 51-08 still has its historic door, door surround and hood.
“The flat roof center buildings are slightly recessed from the streetwall and feature bluestone coping and decorative brickwork at the parapet…”
