100 BLOCK AND
200 BLOCK WEST
CLAY STREET
21 West Clay Street - c. 1846-47 - This house was built at the same time as 15 West Clay Street. This was the home of Bishop Whittle, the Episcopal Bishop of Virginia. It is a very fine house in the stepped gable Greek Revival style. The house is particularly well-preserved with its original porch in fine condition. It served as the parsonage for the Hood Temple.
This Block contains the finest collection of residential cast iron porches in the state. This was once a most stylish block and contains large Itallanate houses in addition to a sprinkling of Greek Revival residences .
100 - 104 West Clay Street - This corner build¬ ing is a commercial establishment and apart¬ ments. Built in the early twentieth century, it is not particularly distinguished.
106 West Clay Street - This good Itallanate house has a fine cast iron porch with its room crest¬ ing and a cast iron porch. The stone key stones in the segmental arches over the windows are unusual.
