1. Andrew Norwood House Marker
This elegant town house was built for Andrew S. Norwood, a prosperous bond merchant in 1845-47. The house was designed in a transitional style that combined Greek Revival and Italianate features. The well preserved home remained in the Norwood family until the turn of the century. It survives as a striking remnant of the fashionable 14th Street residential area of the 1840s.
