Model Houses. 25. It will have been observed that one of the houses in
the foregoing list, in which accommodation is given to 188 persons, is stated
to be a "Model" house. It is one of a series erected by the Society for
Improving the condition of the Labouring Classes—a society which is presided
over by Lord Shaftesbury. This Society built also the Model House in Streatham
Street for Families, and adapted the houses in Clark's Buildings and in
Wild Court; to which reference was made in my last report. More recently it
has rebuilt three houses in Great St. Andrew Street, retaining the ground
floor for shops and the upper floors for lodgers. Much has been dono
in these houses, by the erection of suitable stoves and domestic appurtenances,
to combine economy in housekeeping with cleanliness and health. The
residents in them, who possess great advantages over their neighbours, can
best show gratitude for this humane consideration for their wants, by
keeping the houses in the admirable condition in which they received
them. Our District is under much obligation to Lord Shaftesbury, for
his philanthropic exertions in behalf of its poor population. The Central
London Dwellings Improvement Company has also converted three houses
iii Kennedy Court, and seventeen houses in Star Court and Cross Lane,
