NMRS REFERENCE:
Prior to 1975 the west end of the Somerville Street was renovated, part was demolished and rebuilt and this end was re-named Somerville Square. The numbering changes for the buildings in the Square, eg. 14-20 Somerville Street is now 25-27 Somerville Square. What was originally 19-25 Somerville Street, has been demolished and is now called 1-5 Somerville Square.
