No. 66 is the most attractive house of the Boorman and Johnston row
Of the four houses built in 1840-41 for the merchants James Boorman and John Johnston, the Landmarks Commission judged No. 66 the most attractive. It still has its muntined double-hung windows, its shutters and its plain roof cornice. The small corbeled feet under the windowsills were added slightly later, and also appear on the neighboring houses.
“Of the four, No. 66 is the most attractive. It retains its muntined, double-hung window sash, shutters, and simple roof cornice.”
