Windows in The South

So here's the whole tenement looking resplendent in today's sunshine.
That is the colour of the sky, no photo manipulation at all.
This particular tenement is small in comparison to many others in the city. Most are longer and at least one floor higher. When tenements were built, the road had to be broader than the tenement's height. More on tenements here.
I don't know the age of the building but probably between 1890 and 1910. The only photo I can find is here. The land around in that photo is all fields now roads, shops and bungalows occupy that land.
The extra photo is the tenement at night. That photo reminded me of Avril Paton's painting "Windows in The West", hence the title of this blip.
