Yes Retlaw, I know where the Pop club is(not being fly here), but just mentioned this house because it isn't facing the same direction of the other houses on Wellington St......it could be considered sideways on.
I lived up in that region for the first 19 years of my life, so I thought I knew it pretty well....can't say that I remember any other dwelling place that was sideways on.
