Original Description (transcribed from book)

One of the most impressive rows in the City of Richmond, the three story height and fine cast iron make these houses especially notable. The central house is projected forward to form a pavillion [i.e. pavilion]. Portions of wood picket fences remain.

Original Note (transcribed from book)

This Block contains the finest collection of residential cast iron porches in the state. This was once a most stylish block and contains large Italianate houses in addition to a sprinkling of Greek Revival residences.
