The building to the right is the White House. Though overshadowed by the Hill House (Image), which is behind the photographer's position, the White House has much to commend it. It was built for Henry S Paul, a director of Matthew Paul & Co.; he seems to have been better known locally as Harry S Paul. I believe he was the son of the Andrew Paul who is mentioned at Image, and therefore the grandson of the Matthew Paul who is described at Image The house dates from the 1890s; the architect was Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott. A detailed description can be found in the building's listing text.
