In 1853, model houses created by Prince Albert for the Great Exhibition were moved from Hyde Park to Kennington Common and used for park staff.
Prince Consort Lodge, Kennington Park
some host bent on purveying for the public at liberal but remunerative rates. The building was rapidly completed in a few mon one portion of it showed that it was promptly inhabited. This building, with its galleried porch, outside staircase, well-pitched looking good enough for the hunting-box of a squire on his shooting-manor, is simply a group of " dwellings for the poor," erec legislation and philanthropic art have now conspired to put a cheap house over the artisan's head, as well as cheap raiment on advantages which flow from the repeal of the brick-duty have been manifold and important. Already Members of the House o get bricks at a price from one-fourth to one-third less than they paid for the duty-paying brick ; the improvements in the manu further reduction, and it is difficult to say what further saving this new element of economy may not accomplish. The old-fash disadvantages : its form offered but a poor hold for mortar and secured but an imperfect bond, while its porous texture rende permanently wet and heavy. The appli- cation of the drain-pipe die to the formation of bricks removes all these dis- advantage at any but an ex- orbitant cost. You pour out from the drain-pipe machine an endless stream of tempered clay, shaped to any p adapted to catch hold of mortar and give a perfect bond ; you cut off your bricks at any length or shortness you like; and by ma material, get a brick of the utmost lightness consistent with the requisite strength, and are enabled to dispense with such mas would require. The hollow form of the brick enables you also to lay your courses of bricks so as to afford ready-made piping fo throughout the framework of the house. Full alvantage of these improvements has been taken in forming the skeleton of Princ places four dwelling-suites under one roof. A small porch recedes into the central front of the house; and from that you enter lings on the ground-floor : a common staircase, formed of solid slate steps, conducts you to the second floor of the porch, and on the first floor. In each suite there is a good- sized " living-room," fitted up with a fire-grate well contrived equally to cook th the family group at eve. The windows are large and well-fitted; the mullions are of plain solid wood, unpainted but well varnis good clear water and smooth surface which the late Sir Robert Peel's excise reforms have now placed within the reach of the c whitewashing, for the bricks of which they are formed have a smooth porcelain surface, which only needs the appli- cation of fresh as new ; and the floor has the smooth clean surface of the old farm-house, pantiled floor. Everybody knows that air is on the whole range of natural substances : for this reason, hollow-brick walls, which are honeycombed with air-cells, are most pe
feet retainers of the household warmth which it is the object to retain in the winter, and most perfect excluders of the externa summer. The bare hollow walls are therefore neither chilling in winter nor baking in summer ; and the bare floor does not "str tilated, and because its material is so hard as to be perfectly free from ground-damps. But if the wives of modern artisans be m century ago—and we fear they are—then a square of cocoa-nut-fibre matting may be put under madam's feet in the sitting-ro the consideration of a very few pence. Thus the new mode of brickmaking saves the landlord the cost of wooden floors, and th walls. We found three bedrooms in each suite ; one in the middle for the parents, and one on each side for the boys and girls : facilities offered by the hollow-brick walls and by plates of perforated zinc would preserve the healthfulness of the dormitorie habitation. The arrangements of the subsidiary offices were admirably compact ; indeed, the appliances had somewhat even o impression was rather conveyed by the skill with which each want was met than by any real expensiveness in the apparatus.

Plans were drawn up to construct 1,244 cottages in four different classes: from ‘first’ with five rooms to ‘fourth’ which comprised ground floor and first floor flats, each with three rooms. A five room cottage with bathroom and scullery on the estate would rent at 12/6 (62.5p); the cheapest three room flats at 6/0 (30p) – rates that excluded the unskilled or irregularly employed. In the event, the finished estate in 1911 comprised 1,229 cottages for a population of 8788 people. Four shops were built. Each cottage had a living-room; a kitchen with dresser, food cupboard and plate rack; and a scullery containing sink, copper (for washing clothes), coal bunker and, in many cases, a gas oven. Bedrooms were supplied with wardrobes. Many – but not all – of the cottages had baths.
