Although most of the Belsize estates were still classified in 1930 as middle-class and wealthy, there had been some social decline. There was more demand for lower middle- and working-class houses in areas which had previously seemed unattractive, like the northern part of the Haverstock Lodge estate. The Glenloch Investment Co. began building on sites in Lawn, Lower Cross (later Garnett Road), and Upper Park roads between 1932 and 1934. It is refreshing to see that the majority of these Art Deco styled houses have retained the curved glass in the front bays. They are considered an important feature of the Parkhill and Upper Park Conservation Area.
