| 41 | Wright's Farm Center - 430 Second St. Formerly the T.M. Livery Barn. This building was connected to the one east across the alley by an overhead passage. Here were kept all styles of wagons, funeral hearses, buggies, hacks and the Lynn Funeral Home's two dozen horses plus 15 to 20 which were boarded for neighbors. Four hands were constantly busy downstairs - one doing nothing but washing buggies. Some of the prize teams were very valuable and in 1861 the noted Dan Rice was sold for $16,000. |
| 42 | Boneyfiddle Bazaar - 425 Second St. This Federal-Greek Revival style house was first owned by Charles Hall who came west from Connecticut pushing all his early possessions in a wheelbarrow. He later made his fortune in Ohio manufacturing wheelbarrows. |
| 43 | John Dice Carriage Works - Located on Second Street just west of Wright's Farm Center, now a roofing warehouse, this building was built in 1868. Originally three stories it housed 25 people building carriages, buggies and springboards. A feature of the building was its hand operated buggy elevator. |
| 44 | Portsmouth Cement & Lime - 401 Third St. Built around 1840 as a foundry and machine works it served also in later days as Portsmouth's street car barn. As a foundry it produced shells for Civil War cannons. The hand hewn roof truss struction is an outstanding feature of this building. |

| 47 | Stone Mule Stable - Alley between Front and Second streets. This building was thought by many to have been a jail but actually it was a mule stable for a stone company which quarried stone across the Scioto River. |
| 48 | Ice House - 227 Front St. Built to store ice cut from the river in the winter. Reports indicate it did not prove a very successful storage building. |
