Ziock Terrace
Ziock Terrace looking south on North Court Street from Peach Street (Peach Street would later be renamed Jefferson Street). William Ziock was awarded the contract to build six residential double houses in 1903. Architect W. R. Keyt arranged the ten rooms in each house so each room could be entered from the hallway. This allowed the tenant to have roomers in rooms that did not have to be walked through to get to other rooms.
circa 1910s
