322 State Street is a wood-frame house, the only one of its kind left on the block
The house is framed in wood on a brick foundation and rises three stories; the Commission noted it as the only one left on the block built that way. Its front was stuccoed by the time of the report. When the building was converted to multi-family use the main entrance moved down to the basement level, though the original Greek Revival entrance frame was kept.
“No. 322 is a three-story wood frame structure on a brick foundation, the only remaining house on the block so built.”
