Sir George White, Charles Nairne, William Lockhart were some of the few generals, who had been residing at this place. Lord Kitchener was the more famous personality to live there during his tenure. He made considerable improvements to the place. The Government of India accepted Lord Kitcheners proposed changes to Snowdon, and remitted him finances to make the proposed changes. In 1903, Lord Kitchener gave one of his most famous ballroom parties here. However Sir O Moore Creagh was not happy with the reputation Snowdon had acquired when he was posted there. Dinner parties, dances, meetings, were some of the things that were done there. Later on Billiards room, Society Meetings, Weddings were some of the activities inculcated in Snowdon. Snowdon served as the residence for many commanders in chiefs during their tenure.
Snowdon was burnt down some year back and the site is now taken by Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, also called Snowdon Hospital.
