Name of Building

Refuge Temple

Original Description (transcribed from book)

The Refuge Temple has had a complicated history, and has suffered major alterations, destroying much of its architectural character.

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.
