EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Rowton House on Arlington Road in Camden, north west London, a former large, purpose-built low-cost hostel or doss-house for working men. Established by the philanthropist Montagu William Lowry Corry, Lord Rowton, in 1905, the Camden Rowton House was the last of six such institutions to be built in London. Designed by architect Harry Measures, the edwardian building was an ambitious attempt to provide affordable housing and shelter for men in need, offering a respite from the harsh realities of poverty and homelessness in the early 20th century. Lord Rowton's benevolent initiative aimed to provide a social safety net for working men, offering them a roof over their heads and a chance to regain their footing in society. The Rowton Houses were not workhouses, but rather charitable institutions that provided temporary accommodation and support. The photograph shows the grandeur and scale of the building, with its imposing facade and intricate architectural details, standing proudly on Arlington Road. The Rowton House in Camden was an important part of London's social history, providing a vital service to the community during a time of great need. Today, the building stands as a testament to Lord Rowton's vision of benevolence and his commitment to improving the lives of working men in poverty. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, highlighting the importance of charitable initiatives and the ongoing struggle against homelessness and poverty in our society.
