    Describing the twelve Harrison Place houses on the south side of 39th Avenue between 51st and 52nd Streets, the 2007 landmarks report notes that 51-18 still has its historic door surround and windows, which the survey lists as six-over-six wood sash with storms. Like the other flat-roofed houses in the middle of the row, it stands a little behind the street wall, topped by bluestone coping and a brick parapet worked with projecting scallops, stepped corbelled piers and soldier, header and hourglass patterns. A double header course runs above its second-floor windows.

    “The historic door surround and windows remain at 51-18 39th Avenue.”
