Thursday's clue tells us more about our mystery location. In addition to private homes, this famous street has a few buildings used for other purposes.  The church with the sharp steeple was built in the high Victorian Gothic style, while the Jewish Temple was built in the Queen Anne style with neoclassical revival details.

Friday's clues...two more days to go!

Two brothers built mirror image houses side by side until one brother’s house was demolished so his other neighbor could expand their home and build a carriage house.  This house has Italian and French Renaissance influences with a gothic window.  The other house has a blend of Italianate and Georgian Revival which is currently a B&B. 4-297-FriA4-297-FriB

Here's the last set of clues! Send your answer to TGSuggestions@gmail.com

This first house was built for a wealthy commission merchant, that was modified many times.  A neoclassical revival front porch with ionic columns and a circular pavilion was added to the main Italianate structure.  Also, a carriage house was added made from bricks of the demolished house next door (mentioned in Friday’s clue).  It is now listed as a Victorian Mansion on a list of historic registered places and landmarks.  The second image is that of a street marker which uses a motif of an item that put this place on the map.  All of these buildings line a short stretch of street approximately one mile in length.6-297-SunA6-297-SunB
