W9, Randolph Avenue, Warrington Hotel
The busts are on the Randolph Avenue elevation, at first floor level. We've numbered them left to right. The listing text mentions the busts but doesn't provide any information, not even ID.
The pigeon protection makes photography difficult, but we are guessing they are a pair of 18th century composers: Handel and Bach. If you have other ideas or, better still, some information, please contact us.
