It was Bullens Terrace next to the Georges not Washington Street

[john j connell]

For as long as I can remember Bullens Terrace ran from Marsh Lane to Vermont Street, but on a map from 1901 Bullens Terrace does not exist.
I would be interested to know if the map is correct and if so when did part of Washington Street get renamed Bullens Terrace. JJC.
