The New Lewis Trust Buildings, Lisgar Terrace.
I am indebted to Mr. H. C. Sydney, Secretary of
the Samuel Lewis Trust Dwellings for the Poor, for
the following particulars regarding these buildings,
which are situated on the site previously occupied by
the grounds of Otto House.
Their erection was commenced in January, 1927,
and they were completed on 23rd January, 1928.
The flats contain either three or four rooms, one
of which is a living-room, in addition to a kitchen,
bathroom and W.C. Each flat has a gas copper and
a coal-store, which will hold five hundredweights of
coal. The rents and rates are as follows:—
Three-roomed flats: rent, 10s. 6d.; rates, 2s. 8d.
Four-roomed flats: rent 13s.; rates, 3s. 3½d.
