HOUSING, Etc.
This District is a good residential one, and the general standard
of houses is of a high class.
Defects, found existing in unfit houses, generally are of a structural
nature in many of the very old houses still existing. Other
defects of a general character are due to neglect of internal
decorations, which in most instances are due to lack of proper
management and supervision by owners or agents.
