Once local authorities were empowered in the late 19th century to build housing for rent, the London County Council were quick on the scene. The East Dulwich estate was one of their earliest tenement-style estates (the very earliest were Boundary Street in Shoreditch, and Millbank in Westminster; the earliest cottage-style estate was Totterdown Fields in Tooting). The deep slots on the access balconies are characteristic.
