100 - 102 West Leigh Street - These are two fine and well-maintained Itallanate houses of about 1875. Later additions have been harmonious, especially on 102. Both houses are fine examples of the period with thin cornices and projecting bays. 100 has been in the Kersey family since the 1880's, and 102 was the residence of P. B. Ramsey, a dentist.
104 West Leigh Street - This good example of an Itallanate house with a projecting bay is well preserved. The fine cornice, galvanized lintels and well-preserved original porch are notable.
106 West Leigh Street - This wood frame home
has been visually damaged by the fake
stone siding, but is otherwise well-preserved,
110 West Leigh Street - An exceptionally well- preserved and handsome Itallanate house, this was once the residence of Miles Debbress, a distinguished black civic leader. The Eastlake porch is notable.
