Group of Five Houses – Oak Grove

This group of five wood-framed shotgun houses is clustered on a corner site. They were built c. 1906 to 1908. Early city directories list black residents employed as servants, laborers, porters, chauffeurs, etc. As a significant concentration of an important and increasingly rare folk house type, the group appears to be eligible for the National Register. As with many of the city’s historic shotgun houses, all five have been demolished.
