104 East Leigh Street - Located on the site of Jackson's Gardens, a fashionable beer garden in the early 19th century, this house was built in the last part of the century.
106 East Leigh Street - Like its neighbors this house has a cast iron porch and granite lintels.
108 East Leigh Street - The cast iron porch roof cresting survives with part of the trim. This house is exceptionally well-preserved and maintained like the other houses in the row.
110 East Leigh Street - The simple mass of this Itallanate house, revised by the ornate cornice and porch are typical of the first townhouses of this period.
