608 North First Street - Part of a unified row, this house had its porch altered in the 1920's.
610 North First Street - The porch on this house is supported by fluted Ionic columns with an elaborate classical porch cornice. The rail is supported by urn ballusters.
612 North First Street - This house is identical to 610 except for the substitution of ornate Corinthian capitals for the Ionic.
614 North First Street - The original porch has survived on this Itallanate dwelling. The light scrollwork contrasts with the heavy classicism of its neighbors.
