700 BLOCK NORTH 2nd. STREET
605 - 607 North Second Street - Built in 1848, 605 is unaltered, but 607 was changed c. 1870 with the addition of an interesting porch and cornice. These are a remarkable survival for this area.
609 North Second Street - This three story frame building is little altered, but unfortunately little repaired.
613 - 615 North Second Street - This pair of buildings has been extensively altered so that little suggestion of the original character remains.
700 Block of North Second Street - The northern edge of the most important black shopping street in Jackson Ward, this block contains an interesting collection of old houses and shops.
