706 N.E. 18th Street
706 is a dark buff brick house with three distinctive large arched windows in the living room, eaching having heavy well-done wrought iron railings at their sills. The entrance projection is on the side, rather than the front, which is a variation of the typical plan of the houses in this block. The entrance has a curved stone parapet wall which is rather Gothic in feeling. The side porch has been filled in.
