10 West Clay Street - c. 1847 - A notable and well-preserved Greek Revival house, it contains a fine original porch. The raised basement, small paned windows, and stepped gable all distinguish this house. This was the home of Mr. C . B . Habliston .
12 West Clay Street - c. 1855 - Like its neigh¬ bor, this is a very fine Greek Revival house. The floor to ceiling windows, the recessed door, and the fine Doric porch are notable. It was owned by Mr. H. Newman in 1876.

14 West Clay Street - c. 1843 - The oldest of this group of four Greek Revival houses, it has a simple porch with squared off columns. It is identical in general arrangement to its neigh¬ bors . It was once the home of the Millhelser family who were brewers.
16 West Clay Street - c. 1850 altered c. 1890 - This was built as the Clay Street AME Church by Albert West, a notable Richmond architect. It was originally Itallanate in style. It was later given a fashionable Gothic front. The loss of its steeple and the blue and white window panels have compromised its appearance, but it remains a major local landmark.
