18 West Jackson Street - Originally identical to #20, this house was converted to a larger Itallanate house.
20 West Jackson Street - This small Greek Revival house was built in 1848, but has been altered. It was the home of Elsworth Stores, founder of the first co-operative grocery store, Red Circle Stores.
22 West Jackson Street - A comparatively well- preserved small stepped gable Greek Revival house of c. 1855. The steep roof and original cornice along with a later porch make this house architecturally significant.
24 West Jackson Street - This small Itallanate house is comparatively ornate for this simple street. The cornice, brick¬ work, and porch all remain on this abandoned house.
