EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the transformation of the Old Almshouses in Kingsland Road into a remarkable Furniture Museum in the 1930s. The Geffrye Museum of the Home, located in Shoreditch, London, is housed within these historic 18th-century almshouses built by Sir Robert Geffrye himself. As a former Lord Mayor of London and Master of the Ironmongers Company, Sir Robert's legacy lives on through this architectural marvel. The image showcases the front facade adorned with intricate details and a prominent clock tower crowned by a belfry. In its niche below the clock stands an imposing statue honoring Sir Robert Geffrye. The surrounding ivy adds a touch of natural beauty to this Georgian gem nestled amidst bustling Hackney. Published in "Wonderful London, Volume 3" edited by Arthur St John Adcock, this photograph offers us a glimpse into both history and artistry. It serves as a testament to British charity and philanthropy during that era when housing for those less fortunate was provided through almshouses. Today, visitors can explore this magnificent museum that celebrates not only furniture but also provides insights into how homes have evolved over time. The Geffrye Museum continues to be an iconic landmark where architecture meets heritage—a place where past meets present seamlessly.
