This building appears to have been demolished sometime between 1972, when it was listed (S1), and 1988 when an aerial photograph (S2) indicates a vacant plot in its location. An aerial photograph taken in 1992 (S3), prior to construction of Wade-Wright Court, provides another view of this plot. No. 5 is still extant in both images, but Nos 1 and 3 no longer appear.
