208 West Leigh Street - This house is larger than its neighbors and appears to date from the turn of the century. The small mansarded roof is typical of the period 1890 - 1910.
210 West Leigh Street - This wooden house has an elaborate porch in the Eastlake style. All of its wooden trim is intact and the only major alteration is the addition of asphalt siding.
212 West Leigh Street - This yellow brick house was one of the most recently built in Jackson Ward.
Ebenezzer Baptist Church - One of the most prominent landmarks of the Jackson Ward, this building was built in the 1870's replacing the original church. The spire has been removed, but the building remains dignified and impressive.
