Description: | The Four Per Cent Industrial Dwelllings Company Limited was established in 1885 "for the purpose of providing the industrial classes with commodious and healthy Dwellings at a minimum rent" (Share Issue Prospectus, 1901). Funds to build the Dwellings were raised by issuing shares to investors who were guaranteed a four per cent return. From 1885-1905 the Company built seven Dwellings, mostly in the East End of London. They were not built exclusively for Jews but the majority of their tenants were Jewish, reflecting the population in the East End at the time. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Out of copyright.
