THE DECK OF CARDS
Multiple sources confirm that West View Terrace was constructed in the 1850s, a detail consistent with the town's period of rapid Victorian expansion. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) dates the terrace to circa 1850, describing it as reflecting "the flamboyance of the town's Victorian architecture". Despite this clear timeline, the identity of the architect or builder remains elusive, a notable absence in the historical record for such a prominent structure.
