133 West Jackson Street - This large wooden house was built before 1813 when this was a suburban area. It was later owned by William Meredith, a coachmaker, and still later by Mr. Forrester, an important member of the Order of St. Luke. This is a very fine example of its period.
DUVAL STREET
Of the streets of Jackson Ward which have been damaged by the construction of the super highway, DuVal Street has been the most damaged. One half of the street was destroyed.
1 East DuVal Street - A small and simple frame commercial building, the unusual angle of the building is caused by DuVal Street which is built at an angle.
3-5-7 East DuVal Street - Three similar frame houses with very little architectural ornament.
