Original Description (transcribed from book)
This is a fine Greek Revival house, the oldest on this side of the block. Built in the forties, it was modified about 1875 by the addition of a broad porch and an Italianate cornice. The house is well-preserved and even has a wood picket fence in the front yard. The early steep roof is visible from the side of the house.
Original Note (transcribed from book)
The 300 Block of West Clay Street - This block is one of the best preserved in the district containing good examples of Greek Revival and Italianate houses. The street trees of this block contribute greatly to its charm.
