I've just dug out this photo of the Rate Book page for a part of Queen's Road in 1883-84 that I must have overlooked when querying the renumbering of Queen's Road and the location of the National Hotel/Inn/Tavern between the 1860s and 1880s. This page shows alternative numbers for eleven of the properties with even numbers all under I.L. 5 Sec. A (not I.L. 95 A as before). So the last two properties, nos. 200 and 200A, which are the Boarding House and the licensed National Hotel respectively, become nos. 222 and 224.
