The Tenement and the Terrace

Hall twin of site.ssm_halls tenement-and-terrace - the claim on the wall is the hall claim, verbatim.

The Tenement Cutaway
Four floors and an airshaft, opened like a dollhouse - how the industrial city housed its workers, and what the light and air were worth.
The 1901 Flat
After the Tenement House Act: a window in every room - the law drawn as architecture.
The Philanthropic Terrace
Model housing at five percent - the reformers' answer, terrace by terrace.
The Fire Escape
The iron balcony as biography - bedroom, larder, summer porch, and escape route in one.
The Reading Wall
The hall's informational panels in sequence - the argument of the gallery told in maps, figures, and captions. Read it like a chapter.
Viewpoints
Housing viewpoints - tenement blocks and terraces, current and simulated.
