Statement of Interest

B-Group with Nos 51 and 53. This building dates from before 1824, and the extension to the rear dates from before Sutter's map of 1856. It is called Mayville. The roof formation of Nos 49 and 51 would seem to imply that this group was intended initially to be terrace. The dressings of the doorpieces at both these houses are particularly unusual.
