626 North Fourth Street - The windows suggest this house dates from the immediate post Civil War period. The handsome Ionic porch was added in the early twentieth century.
628 - 630 North Fourth Street - A small double house, these have unusual paired windows.
611 - 613 - 615 - 617 North Fourth Street - This row of abandoned houses is typical of small working men's houses of 1875-85.
631 North Fourth Street - Dating from 1855; the front of this frame house was modernized in the nineteen twenties. The steep roof of the house and the changes testify to its age.
