HISTORY: This building is not shown on the Kingston Estate plan of 1750, which shows a `garden granted to William Galloway' on this site. Galloway, an apothecary, began building 8 houses on this land in 1750, on land he had held since 1738. Wood probably approved the designs. They were `new built¿ in 1753. This building was the North Parade Brewery in 1906 (Kelly's).
