[1] It was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas, and the architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as "a brilliant group of brick houses".

Immediately to the north of the houses is Zion Chapel (originally Grosvenor Park Road Baptist Church), which was also designed by Douglas and built around the same time in a complementary architectural style.

[4] Both the marquess and his successor, the 1st Duke of Westminster, were concerned that the maintenance and improvement of the approach to the park should be carefully handled.

Towards the end of the decade, the terrace of houses was built, with Douglas as architect, developer, and landlord.

The terrace is built in Ruabon red brick with terracotta dressings, and plaster panels on the top floor.
