2–38 First Street.
This group of three-bay, three-story rowhouses, descending in steps along with its street, has been described as "one of the most aesthetically pleasing mid-19th century townscapes in Albany."
Many have brownstone pedimented doorways.
All were built in the late 1850s and early 1860s.

51 and 51​¹⁄₂ First Street: These two brick houses were built in 1885 in the Romanesque Revival style, unique on the street.
They feature classically-inspired terra cotta decoration such as a pediment and frieze and a corbeled cornice.
The house at 51 has stained glass in some windows.

55 and 57 First Street.
These houses, 55 in wood and 57 in brick, predate 1846, making them among the earliest on the street.
Both have a basic Greek Revival form with later Italianate detail such as a cornice and architraves.
While the front facade of 55 First is now clad with aluminum siding, 57 is largely intact, with a pedimented door hood and eyebrow windows.

65 and 67 First Street: These are another pair of wooden houses.
Built in the late 1880s, their unusual decoration for the neighborhood includes a pedimented and arched entry with pilasters and a porch with curved brackets and an unusual railing.
Modern asbestos siding has covered up the facade at 65, but 67 retains the original clapboard, unusual window casings and an iron fence across the front yard.

69 and 71 First Street: These two brick houses, built at the same time as their neighbors, share the same unusual design touches.
They include porches with bracket-like members between posts and corbelling supporting a decorative cornice on the facade.

2–6 Hall Place: This row of brick houses with wooden latticework two-story porches dates to 1859.
The house at 4 Hall is four stories; 5 and 6 Hall have mansard roofs pierced by dormer windows that were added in 1874 when the Second Empire style was popular.

86–90 North Hawk Street: These three attached brick houses are among the district's few Gothic Revival style homes.
All have wide door and window enclosures topped by Tudor-style moldings and prominent stone water tables.
They date to the late 1850s.

36 North Swan Street: This brick Italianate three-story commercial-residential building has a bracketed wooden latticework cornice.
Its two-over-two sash glazed windows have iron hoods and sills.
The storefront is done in Carrarra glass.
It was built in the late 1860s.

50 North Swan Street: This two-story wooden commercial-residential building dates to 1844, making it the oldest on the street and one of the few buildings in the western section of the district predating the removal of the Van Rensselaer Cemetery.
It has a bracketed cornice above the storefront; the upper story has been reclad with aluminum siding.

43 and 53 North Swan Street: These two wooden two-story structures are the oldest largely intact mixed-use commercial/residential buildings in the district, dating to 1845.
Both have their original clapboard siding on the second floor and a bracketed cornice.
The building at 43 North Swan has six-over-six double-hung sash and eyebrow windows as well.

94 North Swan Street.
Its facade long since covered in aluminum and permastone, this two-story wooden house from the late 1850s has a gable in the middle of its cornice, an unusual feature in the district.

12 and 14 Second Street: The two brick rowhouses here are typical of the Albany style of that building type.
They have high exposed stone basements, stone stoops, tall windows, an iron hood on the door and an intricate bracketed cornice.
They were built in the early 1870s.

20 Second Street: This two-story wooden house with a side gable is one of the few with that kind of roof in the district.
A simple wood cornice is its only decorative touch; its facade is covered in aluminum.
With its construction predating 1841, it is one of the earlier houses in the district.

23 and 25 Second Street: This pair of brick houses, built in the late 1840s, demonstrate the transition between the Greek Revival and Italianate styles.
Their denticulated cornices, a hallmark of the former, are support
