House shown on this site on Wood's map, set back off the road at a comparable distance, but not separated into 2 dwellings. By 1856, on Sutter's map, the site was split into 2; however, the division of the principal elevation would suggest that 2 doors were intended. The extension to the rear of No 43 would appear to be contemporary with, or soon after, the main building (on the evidence of the rubble wallface). The extension to No 45 however appears to date to later to late 19th century.
