The Sanitary House: An Architectural Interpretation of Health and Housing Reforms in England c. 1840–1920
Architectural history and theory have shied away from the problem of the internal arrangement and use of 19th century workers' dwellings in England and elsewhere. This lacuna is partly the result of the preoccupation of 19th century housing reformers with the external environment around the dwelling unit. However, many reformers were also concerned about promiscuity, which meant either of two things: i) the use of the dwelling unit by more than one family; or ii) the use of the same room by people of different sex and age. Nonetheless, housing reformers generally declined to interfere in the lives of individual households. One notable exception, however, was Miss Octavia Hill and her followers, who intervened with strict housing management policies. Apart from her approach, only those reformers who designed model dwellings became involved in this question. Therefore, it is interesting to examine how some architects, such as Henry Roberts and then Raymond Unwin tackled the problem. In conclusion, this brief article suggests that local government houses built during this century in England have been the product of an era of housing reforms that began in the 1840's.
