When the Sutton Trust and Lewis Trust Buildings are completed and occupied, there will be accommodation in artzans' dwellings in Chelsea approximately for the numbers as under:—
| Borough Council Dwellings : — | ||
| Sir Thomas More Buildings | 770 | |
| Pond House | 130 | |
| Onslow Dwellings | 350 | |
| Grove Buildings | 300 | |
| 1580 | ||
| Sutton Model Dwellings | 2200 | |
| Lewis Trust Dwellings | 1390 | |
| Marlborough Buildings | 500 | |
| Guinness Buildings | 940 | |
| Peabody Buildings | 200 | |

Probably there are but few places in the United Kingdom where
so many people of the wage-earning class, in proportion to population,
will be able to find so much accommodation in artizans' dwellings as in
the Chelsea that will be in two years time.
