In the mid-60s and early 70s, there was one big house at 37 Severn Road.  I have no impression of any house at 42 Plantation Rd.  The next house further up Plantation Rd was the residence of Jardine Taipan, Michael Harris, named Strawberry Hill.  No.37 Severn Rd was the residence of Dr. Vio.  They kept quite a few long-armed monkeys, parrots, hawks, at least two Afkhan Hounds and two Lap Dogs, as well as other small animals - quite a zoo.  It was rather spectacular when the family and pets went for a walk around Severn Rd assisted by House Boys.  The location where the map indicates as No.42 Plantation Rd would have been the Servant Quarters of No. 37 Severn Rd.
