History:
It appears from the Rate Books that No. 101 was built three years later than No. 99, although the Intent to Build is for two houses. Thomas Geddes did not live in either house and sold both c.1862. For the next ten years the houses changed hands several times until sold to William Sheridan c.1873. He continued to own them until at least 1890.
