Original Description (transcribed from book)
An Italianate house, this has a most unusual cast iron porch and unusual trim on the second floor windows. All the cast iron porch roof trim is preserved, as is the very fine cast iron railing.
Original Note (transcribed from book)
The 00 Block of East Clay Street forms a buffer against commercial intrusion into the residential portions of Jackson Ward. It contains a number of fine houses with very fine cast iron porches, but its lack of street trees damage the desired residential character.
