The properties were built between 1853 and 1855 for prospective use as renter-occupied houses in the city's blossoming market.[3]
After falling into disrepair, the properties were renovated in the mid-20th century by the Historic Savannah Foundation.[5]
Other similar-style row houses exist in Savannah's Scudder's Row, the two Quantock Rows (of Taylor Street and Jones Street), William Remshart Row House, McDonough Row and Mary Marshall Row.[3]
