The Sixth Mount Zion Church - The
church of the famous preacher, John Jasper,
this church's exterior character is determined
by a remodeling in the early twentieth
century.
1 West Duval Street - An elaborate brick house with stone dressings, this house dates from around 1900. The elaborate Corinthian porch with fluted columns has deteriorated and the columns have been replaced with square wooden piers.
5-7-9 West Duval Street - A three unit row of Itallanate houses, this group has a well-preserved wooden porch and cornice. Numbers 7 and 9 have been altered by the addition of asphalt shingles in place of the original wood siding. They retain their original wood fences. Number 5 has had new small windows added which destroy the scale of the row.
11 West Duval Street - This small Itallanate house has little character. The porch appears to have been removed and the windows altered.
