00 BLOCK EAST CLAY STREET
The 00 Block of East Clay Street forms a buffer against commercial Intrusion into the resident¬ ial portions of Jackson Ward. It contains a number of fine houses with very fine cast iron porches, but its lack of street trees damage the desired residential character.
2-4 East Clay Street - A poorly designed storefront addition has damaged 2 East Clay Street. The porch alteration on its neighbor is typical of 1920 residential styles.
6 East Clay Street - This Itallanate house has its original porch intact, and a three sided bay. The house is well- preserved and was originally identical to 4 East Clay.
8 East Clay Street - c. 1875 - An Itallanate house on a raised basement, this has a wooden porch that contributes to the character of this house. The first floor windows have been altered, but the house maintains all the general characteristics of the Itallanate townhouse.
