History

The cluster of houses at 8-20 Snows Court were designed and built in 1884 by Oliver Cox for developer Edwin Greer. Nos. 10-20 are extremely simple rowhouses, lacking any ornamental or architectural design.
The doors are at ground level, and generally lack ornamental features. The windows have shutters. The buildings end without a cornice giving them an unfinished appearance. The houses were renumbered in the 1950s.

Resident/Owner

1963 - Mr. and Mrs. G. Malcolm Watkins
