Nathaniel Dwellings, Flower & Dean Street , Spitalfields
Nathaniel Dwellings. built in 1892. They replaced the rat infested slum lodging houses occupied, at times, by some of the victims of Jack the Ripper. Mary Ann Nichols, known as Polly, stayed at the "White House" number 56 Flower & Dean St. from the 24th to the 30th August 1888. She was murdered whilst trying to sell herself to earn the fourpence for another nights lodging. Elizabeth Stride had stayed at No 32 on and off since 1882. Catherine Eddowes stayed with an Irish porter named John Kelly at "Cooney's Lodging house" at 55 in 1881, and was last seen there the day before her brutal murder on the 30th September 1888, just one hour after that of Elizabeth Stride.
The Ripper murders focussed attention on these streets, among which Flower & Dean St. was described as "the foulest and most dangerous street in the whole metropolis" A public outcry forced the demolition of these slums, and Nathaniel Dwellings and nearby Charlotte De Rothschild Buildings were erected.
Both were subsequently demolished in 1973
