This evocative photograph, captured in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the architectural elegance and historical significance of this remarkable institution. Located in the affluent area of St Marylebone, these Alms Houses were established to provide shelter, care, and support for the elderly, infirm, and destitute members of the local community. The image reveals a tranquil scene of the red-brick buildings, arranged in a neat, symmetrical pattern, surrounded by lush greenery and meticulously tended gardens.
