Architectural Style: Greek Revival Original Description \(transcribed from book\): c. 1847, altered c.1900 and later. This house originally looked like its Greek Revival neighbors but has been repeatedly altered, first by the addition of a mansard roof and later by its conversion into a restaurant. The house retains a great deal of character, and it was owned in 1876 by Mr. J. M. Gregory. Original Note \(transcribed from book\): The 00 Block of West Clay Street contains the finest collection of stepped gabled Greek Revival houses in the City. It was originally owned by Addolph Dill, a prosperous baker. Dill began the development of this street as a high quality residential area, a character which has largely been maintained.
