The houses on the opposite side of Water Street are much superior to those before standing there, especially the group of three at the northern extremity of the burnt district, the houses of Messrs. Joseph Bucknam, J.H. Rumery, and Herbert Kilby, the last recently built and still waiting its final touches, and all are excellent specimens of modern houses of their class.
