Description:
The buildings which make up 27 Rutherford Street were built in several phases of construction in the early twentieth-century. Atom House, a commercial property which occupies the northern block of the site, first appears by 1927 and was later extended in 1932 to create Atom House as it stands today with some alterations and additions including air-raid shelters in the late 1930s. The former Bradford Bros. Garage built in 1920 occupied the southern block of the site and appears to have been merged into being part of Atom House when the garage was no longer operating.
