 | House XVII | (none) | (none) |
| No. 10 Straight Street | The house was closely connected with No. 12; they shared a common outer lobby at the end of Straight Street, and towards the back of the houses (in Room 5) there was a communicating door. Owing to exigencies of space neither agrees with the normal house-plan, though they approximate to this as closely as possible, but they were built more or less on the same lines and have the same number of rooms arranged more or less similarly | (none) |
