By the 1870s, substantial residences were being constructed along Spring Garden Street, including the architecturally distinctive group of c. 1875 homes encompassing 2101 to 2113 Spring Garden Street. More than 150 years later, 2111 remains an impressive example of the scale, craftsmanship & architectural beauty of the era.
