Not sure if you had your question answered already, if so great, if not here goes.
Firstly I'm going to assume you meant 74 'Paris' Street not Exeter Street. 74 would have indeed been next to the Honiton Inn. If you stood at the bottom of Paris st with the Inn on your left all houses continuing up Paris St on the same side were numbered even.
My GGMother and GGFather met on the other side of the street. My GGM living at 75 and my GGF living at 39. You may find the link below of interest. It gives a brief history of Paris St.

At the main page go to "Alternative Navigation" and select "Pubs By City Area" on the next page "Pub Links and Guide" click on the 'St Sidwells / Longbrook St' link. You'll find the Honiton Inn listed there.
Hope this helps

Hi Tabitha
Hope your still checking this section. I've not got Paris Street during exact period you were asking for however the following link shows the street during the war and, other than the obvious bomb damage, will be very close to 1909.
