Snowden Ashford
Snowden Ashford (1866-1927) was an American architect who worked in Washington, D.C.. The Washington Post characterized him as "Architect of the Everyday", and noted: "Ashford designed or supervised everything the District built between 1895 and 1921, including the North Hall at the Eastern Market. But he was most proud of his schools."[1]
