Original Description (transcribed from book)

c. 1885-90 - This fine row of late Italianate houses was built in the former formal garden of the Dill House. The wooden porches are very well-preserved and indicate the characteristics of the Eastlake style.

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.
