The "Strand Buildings" (Model Lodging-House) to be erected in Eagle-Court, [London], 1857. A philanthropic effort is now being made to provide the operative classes with a superior description of dwelling at a lower rent than they are accustomed to pay...Perhaps no district can be found in this vast metropolis in which the deficiency of healthy habitations for the industrial classes is more apparent, or where the rent paid is higher in proportion to the wretched and inadequate accommodation...It is proposed to erect the buildings...offering commodious and well-arranged homes for twenty-five families, and combining, under the approval of the Board of Health, every improvement in ventilation, water and gas supply, drainage, and other advantages calculated to improve the sanitary condition of the occupiers. It is estimated that at moderate rents the annual rental will amount to £500'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
