Most are one-and-one-half or two-story brick or frame residences built between 1845 and 1890, set close to the street behind small front yards and sharing a common scale and massing. Details include bracketed cornices, decorative porches, molded lintels and two-story bay windows. The houses were generally built by local merchants, manufacturers and professionals, and they adapt Greek Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, Eclectic and Colonial Revival designs in a vernacular way. The district was listed as the best surviving example of a middle-class residential neighborhood from its period in the city, with its design, setting and materials intact.
