314 8th St.

 

          On this site stood a log structure which was owned before the Civil War by “free slaves”, Solomon and Cynthia Williams.  By the 1950’s it fell into disrepair and was razed in 1958.  The present structure was built by Harold Oswald in 1959.  The entrance has a concrete step and aluminum awning.   Windows on the primary façade only are shuttered.  To the east is a pent roofed open porch and carport with wrought iron columns and a pent roofed dormer.  An alley runs to the north which gives access to the concrete drive under the carport.
