720 North First Street - This house has been altered by removing the columns and railings of the porch and substituting light metal columns. The sash also appears to have been recently altered.
722 - 724 North First Street - This double house is typical of the street. The windows have stone trim, and the original porch survives although only the railing of 724 remains.
500 BLOCK NORTH 2nd STREET
726 - 728 North First Street - This double house is smaller than its neighbor and is in deteriorating condition. 726 has been abandoned and it has lost its railing, but otherwise the pair is well-preserved.
The Five Hundred Block of North Second Street was once the commercial center of Jackson Ward, and retains its turn of the century commercial character.
