301 West Clay Street - The oldest house in the block, this Federal style house was built in 1833. It was altered by the addition of a cornice and a wood and cast iron porch. Tradition states that the cast iron was manufactured in Richmond.
303 West Clay Street - This small Itallanate house has been expanded by an addition in its side yard. The house, built in the late nine¬ teenth century, is younger than its neighbors.
305 West Clay Street - This Greek Revival house was built in 1846 and was owned by Richard Worsham in 1876. It retains its Greek Revival triple entrance and raised basement. It has been altered twice; first with a fine Itallanate cornice, and a porch which appears to have been added since 1950.
307 West Clay Street - 1845 - 46 - This Greek Revival house has survived well with its original porch and cornices. The original door is also in good condition, and the concrete steps are the only discordant note.
