Processing Information
Photographs mistakenly labeled as 16 Eastway. Error identified by current property owners (2020-10-16) of property: "The four pictures that were sent and are listed as 16 Eastway are actually pictures of 15 Eastway. Charles Lewis Bowman was the architect for both houses. We currently own and live in 16 Eastway." The physical items are labeled as 16 Eastway so it's quite possible that the original photographer got confused and labeled the pictures incorrectly.
