300 West Clay Street - This is an unusual commercial building of the turn-of-the- century, distinguished by the projecting bay windows on the second floor. The triangular site at the corner of Clay and Brook is emphasized by a corner turret. This is among the finest commercial structures •of Jackson Ward.
302 West Clay Street - This is a fine Greek Revival house, the oldest on this side of the block. Built in the forties, it was modified about 1875 by the addition of a broad porch and an Itallanate cornice. The house is well-preserved and even has a wood picket fence in the front yard. The early steep roof is visible from the side of the house.
304 West Clay Street - A small Itallanate house, 304 retains its cornice and picket fence. The porch appears to have been simplified in the early twentieth century in a harmonious manner.
306 West Clay Street - This house is distinguished by an exceptionally well-preserved cornice and jigsaw porch. The woodwork of this house appears in the 1882 catalog of J.J. Montague, a local manufacturer of wood trim.
