Original Description (transcribed from book)
Like its neighbor, 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.
Original Note (transcribed from book)
The 00 Block of West Clay Street contains the finest collection of stepped gabled Greek Revival houses in the City. It was originally owned by Addolph Dill, a prosperous baker. Dill began the development of this street as a high quality residential area, a character which has largely been maintained.
