One-story Colonial Revival front porches, most with white classical columns but some with brick or stone pillars, are a significant unifying compositional element down the block, as they are throughout the length of the avenue, along with a generous distribution of balustrades and limestone or brownstone accents on brick facades. These are the primary threads out of which the avenue's signature fabric is knit. Survey number: HABS VA-1300 National Register of Historic Places NRIS Number: 90002098
