best bet is to try Suffolk Records Office In Ipswich,

looking on the http://www.historicaldirectories.org

 Gazetteer & Directory of Suffolk, 1891-2 states 25 Westgate Street Ipswich as The Grosvenor (public house) although it looks as if there may have been room rented above the pub as i also found a dentist listed at the same address.
In the kellys directory of 1900
W Boughton and sons (photographers ) are listed at 24 buttermarket Ipswich

The Grosvenor apparently didn't last much beyond 1912. Though as you say there may have been rooms rented above the pub.

I have a picture of a man, probably my grandfather, in RAMC WW1 field uniform. The picture has the inscription 'Boughtons, 25, Westgate St, Ipswich'. The serial number - written in pencil on the back - is A 27697.
