Property name
36 and 36½ David Place
Other names
- Milton House
- Peterborough House
- Pembroke House
Location
David Place, St Helier
Type of property
Mirror pair of mid-19th century town terrace houses. Although the property is clearly divided into two mirror-image houses, census returns in the 19th century did not distinguish between the two and almanace listings are ambiguous. To add to the confusion, No 36 is variously shown in records as Pembroke House and Peterborough House. We have distinguished between the two houses where possible
