An unframed picture of Henry Ward Beecher: The Resident Patient and The Adventure of the Cardboard Box As pointed out above, terraced houses were low-cost structures intended for the working class, and even the walls were shared between units to keep costs down and squeeze in as many families as possible. So the idea of a terraced house having a decorative bow window is ludicrous. I was recently asked by my GR friend Colin, “what novel had the most impact on you in your teens/early twenties?”

I had a great feeling of loss when my reading adventure came to a definitive end. Also a feeling of relief, where I felt my bounds of duty were cut, and I was able to pursue other literary paths.

And it is the only depiction I know of that reconciles these challenges with the various descriptions of 221B Baker Street found in other stories. I’ve been thinking of Doyle’s spiritualism lately and what Holmes would have made of it all. I can’t help feeling that there might have been words between the two of them and tuts and the slow shaking of the head. That is, I sometimes wonder if Holmes, the character, was more necessary, in a sense, than Doyle the writer. I know that sounds like a silly thing to say, but I think it might be at least a little true too.Baker Street was later extended, but 221B still did not exist because there was a large building at that location called Abbey House which took up the space of several numbers including 221. And that uniqueness is what compelled me to draw the illustration in the first place. 221B Baker Street is a main character in the stories; a unique fictional character that fires the imagination. Why anyone would want to squeeze it into the shape of a common terraced house is beyond me. If one follows the actual facts in the stories, then one must abandon the theory of a terraced house. The facts don't fit.
