The Walter P. Snow House
 
The Walter P. Snow house was built in 1850. Walter P. Snow was a lawyer who practiced in Snow Hill, the county seat of Worcester Co, MD.  He was know as a kindly man.  Ann and Walter owned the home until 1881. Established in 1642,  Snow Hill was the center of business and produce. The navigatable Pocomoke River ended at Snow Hill which made the town a center of commerce and transportation connecting the Eastern Shore to cities such as Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia. 
The Walter P. Snow House became know as the Cedars.
It is one of the grandest homes on Federal Street in Snow Hill.
