200 BLOCK WEST LEIGH STREET
120 West Leigh Street - This is a well-preserved Itallanate house with a good bracketed cornice and simple wooden porch.
122 West Leigh Street - This is the exceptional castellated armory of the First Battalion of the Virginia Volunteers. Built in 1899, this almost "Fairytale" armory was the headquarters for the City's black regiment. The battlement, towers and moulded brickwork are all very fine and unusual. It now serves as a gymnasium. The fire escape mars the architectural effect.
The Two Hundred Block of West Leigh Street - This block retains its residential character, and is one of the most visable areas of Jackson Ward.
204 - 206 West Leigh Street - These two small Italianate wooden houses are typical of this part of Jackson Ward, but are not in good physical condition. 206 has its original turned columns and brackets. 204 has been altered with the addition of asphalt shingles and the alteration of the porch.
