A pair of semi-industrialised experimental cost-cutting houses by local architects Petter and Warren, based on the principles of Lt. Col. P.N. Nissen, D.S.O., R.E., used in the erection of the First World War Nissen Huts. Estimated to cost 350 pounds each, about 100 pounds cheaper than conventional 'non-parlour' houses of the day, they ended up at 513 pounds 11s, 7d each, and Yeovil Town Council built no more.
