| Site Name: |
Ramcor (Property 9) |
| Brief Description: |
Mid-19th to early 20th-century rowhouses |

| Site Notes: |
Property 9, which included this site, was bounded by Eutaw Street to the east, West Lee Street to the south and west, and Barre Street to the north. However, before Lee Street was realigned ca. 1900-1914, it formed only the southern boundary of this area, and Little Green Street extended south to bisect the Property 9 parcel. Excavations within Property 9 focused on a series of stone foundations fronting along Eutaw Street, and on Feature 7701, a stone foundation located approximately 18.29m southwest of the original intersection of Little Green and Barre Streets. |
