2401 E. Clay Street. c. 1890. This brick Italianate two-story house was built c. 1890. The three-bay house features a double front entrance. The full-width front porch displays Victorian Eastlake details with ornamental brackets, dentils and a french curl ceiling.

This house is listed as a contributing structure to the Church Hill North Historic District on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places.
