Original Description (transcribed from book)
The steep roof to the rear indicates that this building dates to 1800 when it was part of a small development. This house was inhabited by free blacks at the time it was built. It is beyond repair.
Original Note (transcribed from book)
The 700 Block of North Third Street has been badly hurt by the construction of I-95 and I-64 which use it as exits. It might be possible to convert some of the houses to commercial use.
