EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this first floor plan of Rowton House, located on Arlington Road in the heart of Camden, north west London, opened in 1905. This historical edifice was a charitable institution designed to provide affordable accommodation for working men who found themselves in poverty and homelessness. The first floor, and those above it, were filled with dormitory cubicles, each measuring a mere 6 feet by 3 feet, providing a meager space for men to sleep and call their temporary home. The Rowton House was a product of benevolence and social consciousness during the Edwardian era, an era marked by significant social and economic changes. The building was not a workhouse or a doss-house, but rather a benevolent institution that aimed to offer a safe and clean environment for men in need. The floor plan offers a fascinating glimpse into the living conditions of the working men during this period. Each cubicle was equipped with a bed, a locker, and a washbasin, providing the bare essentials for a night's rest. The communal bathrooms and kitchen were located on each floor, adding to the shared living experience. The Rowton House played a significant role in the history of social housing in London, paving the way for more comprehensive and humane solutions to address the issue of poverty and homelessness. Today, the building stands as a testament to the charitable efforts of the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of affordable housing and social support for those in need.
