600 BLOCK NORTH 1st. STREET
600 Block of North First Street - This is - one of the most consistent blocks in Jackson Ward. Built in the last decades of the nineteenth century, this block contains smaller homes than on Leigh or Clay Streets. These are more easily used by modern families than the larger houses on other blocks.

602 North First Street - This small, one- level brick Italianate_cottage is painted red with painted mortar lines to simulate brick. This was a traditional way to paint brick and this cottage is one of the few examples of this technique in Richmond. The cottage has a good cornice and its original shutters are in place.
604 North First Street - This notable smaller Itallanate house is perfectly preserved. Even the color scheme is preserved. It has unusual jigsaw brackets and a jigsaw porch rail. The cornice is typical as is the wood picket fence.
606 North First Street - Originally identical to its neighbor 604, this house has a handsome Ionic porch substituted for its original jigsaw porch. Well-preserved, the only sign of age is the substitution of a wood block for an Ionic capital.
