EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Lews Combination Poorhouse in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland, as it stood in the late 1890s. Designed by James M. Thompson of Edinburgh and completed in 1894-1896, the poorhouse could accommodate up to 66 inmates. The building's imposing facade, with its granite walls and red-tiled roof, exudes a sense of Victorian-era austerity. The path leading up to the entrance is lined with lush grass and dotted with inmates, who are dressed in plain clothing and appear to be at work or engaged in daily activities. The Lews Combination Poorhouse was a product of its time, reflecting the harsh realities of poverty and social welfare in Scotland during the late 19th century. The term "poorhouse" itself is a testament to the stigma attached to those who sought refuge within its walls. The Lews Combination Poorhouse, now a significant historical landmark, stands as a reminder of the past and the challenges faced by those who lived through it.
