5 East Clay Street - c. 1880 - This Itallanate house has been altered several times but the upper floor of the building is in its original condition. The porch was added c. 1910, and the porch has been filled in with a brick addition for use as an office.
9 East Clay Street - c. 1866 - The Mosby Memorial Baptist Church was originally the Friends Meeting House. It is an impress¬ ive late Greek Revival building with square columned portico. The stairs and central vestibule are later additions but are harmonious with the rest of the building.
11 East Clay Street - c. 1875 - This is an exceptionally fine Itallanate house with an unusual cornice and a well-preserved cast iron porch. This porch is elaborate and handsome. The house was owned by Mrs. Parry in 1876.
15 East Clay Street - c. 1878 - This is essentially a slightly less elaborate house than its neighbor 11 East Clay Street. The cast iron porch is well-preserved and has three tiers of metal cresting.
