Fairholme, Feltham, Greater London
This development of 72 charitable houses and bungalows 'for the poor' were designed in 1934 by T Cecil Howitt in an Arts and Crafts style. They were built in a formal and symmetrical layout around a quadrangle, with a central community hall. All the houses are paired or in groups of three, linked by arches to the next group. The estate was remarkable for its date in having a communal hot water system. Fairholme was built on the site of a market garden. It was built in accordance with the will of Mrs Elizabeth J Jones of Fulham. She left a sum of money for building homes for people in needy circumstances, whether through age or ill health. It was admired at the time for its 'artistic layout and the pleasing design of the homes' - Middlesex Chronicle 15 February 1936.
