310 West Leigh Street - Similar to its neighbor, both houses were once owned by a Mrs. Waldrop. This house has been covered in brick simulating shingles which obscure its wooden structure.
312 West Leigh Street - Part of a group of Itallanate wooden houses, this house is similar to 310 and 308 but is not built on a raised basement. This house is well-preserved.
314 - 316 West Leigh Street - These two brick houses are mirror Images of one another. 316 has been recently altered, but 314 is well-preserved with its original porch and even its picket fence intact.
