A night photography experiment, taken at 2:30 AM with an iPhone 15 Pro.

Built some time between 1901 and 1908, originally 35-37-39 Flora.  This 3-unit 2-storey row appears on Goad's 1912 plan without the odd cat-slide thingy attached to the front. That feature does appear (barely visible) on the 1928 aerial photos, which makes sense as cat-slides were something of a post-WWI affection, though usually found on cottagey, "fairytale" and Tudor Revival homes, not on blocky row-houses with flat roofs and heavy, Victwardian cornices*. The hand-textured stucco on the gable would again be part of the early 1920s Tudor/cottage style.

*Such cornices, as we see edging the roof here, were popular between 1880 and 1920.
