most significant of the LCC estates by the Architects' Department housing
section under Owen Fleming and , more particularly in this case ,
R. Minton Taylor who was probably responsible for the estate layout
radiating from a rectangular public garden. Red brick with slight stone
dressings, tiled roofs. Humane, Arts and Crafts socialist housing design
inspired by Webb, Lethaby and Smith and Brewer with "Queen Anne" and
Northern European features, all executed to high standards. A long block
with splayed south end following street line,and flanking St. Oswulf Street
axis. 4 storeys and attic. Slightly asymmetrical, 22 windows wide with 5
storey central and terminal pavilion gabled breaks and similar 16-window
splayed south end. Camber arched pent-roofed recessed porches to courtyard
elevation. Segmental arched glazing bar sashes with exposed box frames,
tripartite and quadripartite on ground floor, grouped to express interior
distribution. Dormers above flat eaves between gables. Stringcourse over
ground floor. The block balances its twin, Ruskin House, on the other side
of St. Oswulf Street. (c.f. Boundary Street Estate, Tower Hamlets.)
