3. Diamond-Johnson House. 6732 Berryhill Street. Circa 1905. Frame Vernacular. Unique architectural features of the house include the
two-story projecting bays on its front facade. This house was acquired by the Steam and Lumber Company, later known as the Bagdad Lumber Co. in 1911. Local residents believe the house was moved from its original location on Berryhill to accommodate the construction of the Alabama and Florida rail line.

The house displays subtle elements of Queen Anne style with its  two story bay towers on the front and eastern elevations. This is typical of Queen Anne aesthetics that shy away from a smooth walled appearance.
