    The builder William Argall appears to have put up a row house at 196 Prince Street in 1832, and he kept ownership of it until 1851. In later decades the house was converted to a tenement with a shop on the ground floor. Photographs suggest its front was rebuilt in brick sometime between about 1940 and 1980.

    “…originally been built in 1832 as a row house by builder William Argall, who retained ownership of the building until 1851.”
