Photography — 1888-1910
Jewish Housing
This photograph shows a tenement block built to house Jewish residents in London's East End. Wealthy Anglo-Jewish families, including the Rothschild banking family, financed the building of affordable homes for skilled Jewish workers. The first tenement block built primarily for Jewish immigrants, the Charlotte de Rothschild Dwellings, opened in 1887 in Flower and Dean Street. There was a strong sense of community within the Rothschild buildings and most residents enjoyed similar standards of living and shared ambitions.
