1877 Architect Fulham Infirmary L Aw Poor Saxon Snell Workhouse
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the design for the new St. George's Union Infirmary on Fulham Road, south west London, which was constructed in the late 1870s. The architect behind this remarkable Victorian building was Henry Saxon Snell. The infirmary was an essential addition to the social fabric of the community during the 1870s, providing much-needed medical care and relief for the poor and destitute. The design of the infirmary is a testament to the architectural prowess of the era, with its grand facade and intricate details. The building's symmetrical design, with its central dome and tall, arched windows, exudes an air of dignity and respectability. The use of red brick and white stone in the building's construction adds to its visual appeal and durability. The St. George's Union Infirmary was a significant improvement over the previous workhouse system, which focused more on punishment than care. The new infirmary provided a more humane approach to caring for the sick and the poor, reflecting the changing social attitudes of the time. Henry Saxon Snell was a renowned architect of the Victorian era, known for his designs of public buildings, including schools, hospitals, and workhouses. His work on the St. George's Union Infirmary is a prime example of his ability to create functional and beautiful structures that served the needs of the community. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the rich history of St. George's Union Infirmary and the architectural legacy of Henry Saxon Snell. It is a reminder of the importance of social welfare and the role that architecture plays in shaping our communities.
