Description

The subjects currently form a gap site on the south side of Houston Street, surrounded by a mix of building types. To the west are four-storey red sandstone tenement flats, while the eastern boundary features detached villas. The Tontine Hotel lies to the south, and opposite the site on Houston Street are various commercial properties. St. Mary's Church and Primary School are within walking distance. The area is generally a mixed-use environment, comprising residential, commercial, and institutional buildings.

The site itself is cleared of buildings and consists of overgrown scrubland.
