General note

This group of houses “reflect the turn- of- the -century domestic architectural trend prevalent in England. These clustered homes also echoed Nobb’s belief that, apart from facilitating aesthetic harmony in a residential enclave, groups of dwellings have an added benefit derived from economics. He argued, for example, that there is a substantial saving in building forty houses together, as against forty houses, one by one.” --Norbert Schoenauer, “Percy Erskine Nobbs: Teacher and Builder of Architecture,” Fontanus: from the Collections of McGill University 7 (1996) : 53. --
