Notes
Number 6 Adam Street
Number 6 Adam Street is located on the eastern side of the street, and was at the centre of the block. The façade of this house survives, albeit with a largely twentieth-century fabric behind.
This house began as the home of William Adam (1772-74). He then moved to 12 John Street in 1774, which was also the location of the Adam office, and where the Adam draughtsmen undertook their work.
