Statement of Interest

Including No 1A Bath Place. Wood's map shows a group of buildings on this site. The properties are not defined. Sutter's map shows the termination of terrace to the SE as being an L-planned building. Possibly No 1 was built at the same time as the remaining houses in the terrace, and then subsequently extended. However the ridge height of this house differs from that of its neighbours. W Baird mentions that the land on which these houses have been built was amongst the earliest feus which were sold, along with Wellington (Marlborough) Street and Regent Street.
