Architecture Notes

NMRS REFERENCE:

c.1960 the north side of the west end of Somerville Street was demolished and rebuilt. This section of Somerville Street was re-named Somerville Square and the south side re-numbered. 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.
