Framed Print of Peabody-Square, Westminster, for the dwellings of the poor, 1869. Creator: Unknown
Peabody-Square, Victoria-street, Westminster, [London], for the dwellings of the poor, 1869. These blocks altogether contain ninety-three dwellings, or 225 rooms...fully occupied by 389 individuals...the fifth story is appropriated to the laundry, washhouses, and baths...Some of the bed-rooms have fireplaces...The lavatories, sinks, and other such offices, are placed at each end of the corridor, apart from the main building...Great care has been taken to secure freedom of the interior from stagnant or unwholesome air...The use of the laundries, washhouses, and baths, and of the large open playground in the centre of the buildings, is much appreciated, and the number of applications for residence is much greater than the number of dwellings. Only those applicants whose wages average £1 or less per week have been admitted as tenants, and these are strictly prohibited from taking lodgers...all the arrangements have been made with a view to meet the wants of the labouring poor. The buildings were erected by Messrs. W. Cubitt and Co. of Gray's-inn-road, from the designs and under the superintendence of Mr. H. A. Darbishire, architect, of Trafalgar-square'. From Illustrated London News, 1869. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
