EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of Rowton House on Arlington Road in Camden, London, in 1926. The Rowton Houses were a series of hostels that provided affordable accommodation for working men, making them an essential part of the social fabric of the city during the early 20th century. The Rowton Houses were established in 1865 by the philanthropist and social reformer, Dr. Barnardo, with the aim of providing a safe and clean living environment for working men who were struggling to afford decent housing. The houses were designed in a distinctive style, with red-brick facades and large, communal dining rooms, which fostered a sense of community among the residents. The photograph shows the Rowton House on Arlington Road, which was one of several such houses located in Camden. The image reveals the simple yet functional design of the building, with its large windows and plain brickwork. The street scene outside the house is bustling, with people and carts passing by, adding to the sense of activity and energy that characterized the area. Despite their humble appearance, the Rowton Houses played a vital role in the lives of countless working men and their families. They offered a roof over their heads, a hot meal, and a sense of belonging, providing a crucial safety net during difficult times. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the history and importance of these institutions, which continue to inspire efforts to provide affordable housing for those in need today.
