Mount Pleasant Hotel, Kings Cross, London: A Historical Snapshot of Philanthropy and Working-Class Housing in Victorian England This evocative photograph captures the Mount Pleasant Hotel, located at the corner of Kings Cross Road and Calthorpe Street in Central London. Originally erected in 1894, this building was one of six Rowton Houses, large, purpose-built, low-cost hostels or doss houses for working men. These institutions were the brainchild of Montagu William Lowry Corry, 1st Baron Rowton (1838-1903), a renowned philanthropist and businessman, who dedicated his life to providing affordable shelter for the working class and homeless men in London. The red-brick, white-trimmed building exudes a sense of history and nostalgia, transporting us back to the 1890s. The horses and carts lining the cobblestone street are a reminder of the era's transportation methods, while the horse-drawn omnibus in the foreground hints at the convenience and affordability that the Rowton Houses offered their residents. Lord Rowton's benevolence extended beyond mere shelter, as the Rowton Houses also provided their residents with access to hot meals, clean bedding, and a safe environment. The buildings were designed to be large, low, and built with a sense of community in mind, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie among the working men who sought refuge there. The Mount Pleasant Hotel, with its Victorian charm and historical significance, stands as a testament to the philanthropic spirit of the past. This photograph offers a glimpse into a time when the needs of the working class and homeless were prioritized, and the importance of providing affordable housing and shelter was recognized as a fundamental aspect of social welfare. Today, the building continues to serve as a reminder of the power of benevolence and the enduring impact of philanthropy on the lives of those in need.
