Sinopsis
Excerpt from Charitable and Parochial Establishments
Inasmuch as it had been predicted that it would be impossible to properly ventilate a building constructed upon such a plan, very great pains were taken to make ample provision in the design for the inlet of fresh air to the Wards and the outlet of foul air, and to this end channels were constructed from the front to the back walls, running under the heads of all the beds for the admission of fresh air, and the side walls next the beds being made two bricks thick were filled with upright flues I8 inches by 9 inches, for conveying away any vitiated air to above the level of the roof. As a further precaution a boiler was erected in the basement, and steam-pipes passed through all the above flues in order to better induce an upward current in them. This apparatus was, however, soon dispensed with, as the natural ventilation was found to be sufficient, and these Wards are to this day considered to be amongst the best-ventilated in the Metropolis.
It is singular that this building, planned as it was in such apparent opposition to the rules laid down by the most eminent authorities, should practically have been found to be the best adapted for the class of inmates for which it was designed.
