Structure: These five, five story houses were designed as a row with a configuration of ABABC (from east to west). The houses are twenty feet wide and have American basements, common cornice, roof and sill lines, and Roman brick and limestone facades. The historic window types appear to be casement sash at the second and third stories and double-hung wood sash at the other stories (except for No. 314 which has casements at the fourth story). The main entrances have outer doors of wrought iron and glass, while the service entrances are enclosed by decorative wrought iron doors. Many of the houses retain decorative wrought iron grilles on the ground story windows. The A type houses, Nos. 306 and 310, have limestone faced ground stories with a central entrance above a low stoop, flanked by windows and a service entrance. At the second and third stories a three sided limestone faced oriel is distinguished by an arched broken pediment at the second story and surmounted by a wrought iron balustrade. The fifth story is marked by alternating courses of limestone and Roman brick. The modillioned cornice has cartouches at each end.
