Regarding The McLaren House. Excerpts from the National Register nomination for the district:
McClarenHouse (815 Greenville Avenue) - built 1868 by Daniel DeCamp, 2½ story brick building in a composite of architectural style. Gothic Revival dripstones adorn the bay windows, with Italianate roof brackets and window dripstones appearing above the second floor line. An original wrought iron balcony surrounds the front bay, while a linked loop balcony surrounds its roof. The adjacent arcaded porch is formed of pierced and turned wood parts. The heavily carved entrance door is of walnut. The interior, complete with twelve foot decorated plaster ceilings, walnut staircase, Marquetry floors and marble mantels, is, like the exterior, in excellent original condition.
