'Old Almshouses in the Kingsland Road Turned Into a Furniture Museum', c1935. The Geffrye Museum of the Home on Kingsland Road in Shoreditch, north-east London, is housed in 18th-century almshouses which were built in 1714 by Sir Robert Geffrye, a former Lord Mayor of London and Master of the Ironmongers' Company. The front facade, seen here, has a statue of him in the niche below the clock. From "Wonderful London, Volume 3", edited by Arthur St John Adcock. [The Fleetway House, London, c1935]
