There are a few examples found scattered around the north western and western side of the neighborhood. The Shotgun houses in Grant Park are of a very simple design and little ornamentation. The community had two Italianate mansions, one of which is left standing. They were built in 1858 and 1871 and served as family homes for Lemuel P. Grant. The 1858 house was located at 327 St. Paul Avenue and has been damaged by fire and deterioration.
Historic photographs show that the house was rectangular with giant order pilasters at each corner.
The roof was hipped with dormers and there was a heavy cornice supported by paired brackets. The second Grant house, built in 1871, is of stuccoed brick and frame and sits on the southwest corner of Hill and Sydney Streets. It is a prominent visual feature of the district and has Italianate wooden detailing in the eve brackets, porch posts with segmental arches, and a round arch above the front door. The neighborhood has several churches scattered throughout the residential area. While many are small twentieth century structures, some are architecturally notable.
