		There are some who would say that Downing Street's unprepossessing appearance is all too consistent with the state of the empire today.
		Fittingly located on a dead-end street, 10 Downing was built in the late 17th century by Sir George Downing on what turned out to be a peat bog, which over time caused many of the buildings on the street to settle and crack.
		Number 10 is one of only three remaining houses on Downing, the other two being numbers 11 and 12 (all of which adjoin--having even and odd numbers on opposite sides of the street is an American practice).
