Homer Street

[maccalenny]

Hello everyone
I have been trying to find out a bit more about Homer Street, as my g-grandfather was born there in 1850. From google I can see that the bottom end, where he was born (no 81) is all modern but the top end is older. My architectural knowledge is not great - does anyone know when these Homer street houses would have been built? I'm trying to get a feel for what it might have looked like in 1850. If anyone has any old photos of Homer Street that would be fantastic.

Thank you !
