2211 Harper Street

The two homes lying north of 2209 Harper Street—situated on the 2211 Harper Street parcel—are variations of the shotgun house style. Though slightly wider and longer than the shotgun homes located on Matthews Street, and accessed by side porch steps rather than a central stair, these buildings possess the same basic arrangement and footprint. Some distinctive elements on the two houses include the vertical wooden front gable siding, and the metal seam roof on the north house.
