The federal architectural survey dates most of its original construction to 1827 and identifies it as a particularly useful surviving example of a nineteenth-century urban streetscape. Its importance lies in the relationship between buildings: repeated windows, shared edges and the changing rhythm of shop entrances make a continuous public face. It belongs to the archive’s later nineteenth- and twentieth-century story even though its origins precede 1850.",
