History: After their success in subdividing the Annesdale Park area, brothers John Bayard Snowden and Robert Brinkley Snowden sought to create even more lots for the newly well-to-do of Memphis. Modern conveniences such as gas streetlights, sewers, and gas mains were installed in order to further attract interest. Large scale bungalows, Craftsman houses and other styles are found here in significant numbers, detailed with Colonial Revival, Craftsman, Tudor Revival and other stylistic influences. Annesdale-Snowden Historic District is one of the National Register-listed districts recognized (and protected) by the City of Memphis as a local historic district or Historic Overlay District.
