One of few reminders of Hulme Barracks, built in 1817 and demolished about a century later - these were built in the early C20th for NCOs. Contrary to appearances they are flats, split between ground and first floors, with access via paired doors, "an unusual configuration in Manchester, though common in Tyneside". Similar houses survive on the parallel St George's Avenue.
