Publication Account (1995)

Lewis Street also has buildings displaying a certain gentility of former days. 21-25 Lewis Street (no 23 now being the Registrar's office) are attractive two-storeyed houses with door and window cornices, as is the effice ef Ferguson & Forester, solicitors, on the other side of the road, with its arched dormers and steps leading to the main door. This was originally the home of John Henry Lewis Taylor, whose family owned most of the land within the burgh on either side of Stoneykirk Road, and after whom the street was renamed, as Lewis Street, in the 1820s.

Information from ‘Historic Stranraer: The Archaeological Implications of Development’ (1995).
