Is it Warren Square?
ReplyDeleteI don't know that particular one, but Michael R. has a list of all the JP gaslights that are still working!
ReplyDeleteNot Warren Square. The houses at Warren square are split doubles like this one, but more Italianate than this one.
ReplyDeleteThis is on Centre Street near the rotary to the Jamiaca way
ReplyDeleteNope - not Centre street.
ReplyDeleteREAR # 38 Burroughs Street
ReplyDeleteWe had a guess of Eliot street that was incorrect, but now we have a winner. Thirty-eight Burroughs st is in the back of #42, and the lamp post is somewhat hidden by trees. Enjoy the digital brew of your choice!
