This one-story 1909 Neoclassic row house has a hipped roof with hipped gable, both with a pronounced
flare. Eaves are boxed, with moderate eave overhang. Siding is false bevel drop siding. A partial-width
porch beneath the main roof is supported by two cylindrical pillars atop a wooden terrace wall. Opposite
the porch is an angled bay. Stairs are concrete, with concrete balusters styled to resemble wood. Windows
are double-hung wooden sash with diamond-patterned divided light upper sash and a single pane in the

porch, leading from a concrete driveway to a basement garage. Despite this modification, the building
retains most of its integrity and is thus a contributor to the district. The building was constructed for Book
Brothers.

This 1910 Neoclassic row house with Craftsman elements has a hipped roof and hipped dormer with flared
ends and boxed eaves. Siding is false bevel drop siding. The full-width porch is located under the main
building roof and is supported by four rectangular pillars atop four clinker brick porch supports. The porch

terrazzo and the wall below the porch is clinker brick. The stairs are ceramic tile, not original to the house,
and an articulated brick wall, not original to the house, runs from the brick handrails on either side of the
stairs along the forward edge of the property line. The porch has two tripartite windows, each with doublehung

diamond-patterned mullions. Windows on the dormer have been covered with wood and a wall air
conditioning unit. This building has had some alterations but retains sufficient integrity to be a contributor
