Dated 1909 on hopper. Part of the proposed Glyn Cory Garden Village development, influenced by the ideas of Ebenezer Howard and to a plan devised by Thomas Adams in consultation with the garden designer TH Mawson; one of a number of South Wales projects to provide good quality planned housing for company workers. The original plans envisaged c 1400 houses and a population of 5-6000. Avenues with grass margins and trees and recreational areas were part of the design, the central axis being Main Avenue. Only a small part of the plan was realized; by 1914 only 22 houses had been built. John and Reginald Cory were well-known Cardiff coal and shipping magnates

Walls pebbledashed and painted, stone to ground floor frontage; hipped tiled roof with overhanging sprocketed eaves, twin projecting gables with roof on outer sides sweeping down to create porch.
