Caledonian Estate

The Caledonian Estate is a Grade II listed, early Edwardian estate towards the northern end of the Caledonian Road in Islington, London. It is situated next to Pentonville Prison. The Estate was built on the site of the classical Caledonian Asylum from which the Road took its name.
Pevsner describes the building as having been constructed between 1900 and 1907, though English Heritage describes it as having been built between 1904 and 1906.〔 〕 A pamphlet produced by the London County Council notes that, though the Council had accepted an offer from the Asylum for the land by January 1901, construction could not begin until December 1904 as the trustees of the school needed time to erect new buildings elsewhere.〔"Housing of the working classes in London. Notes on the action taken between the years 1855 and 1912 for the better housing of the working classes in London, with special reference to the action taken by the London County Council between the years 1889 and 1912", available online at http://archive.org/stream/housingofworking00londrich/housingofworking00londrich_djvu.txt, accessed on 6 July 2015, at 09.47〕 The architect was James Greenwood Stephenson (1872 – 1950); and was designed during his time in the Housing of the Working Classes Branch of the London County Council Architect's Department.
Susan Beattie states that it is one of the two "most successful" flatted estates in the first decade of the twentieth century (along with Stephenson's Chadworth Buildings in Lever Street).〔'A Revolution in English Housing: LCC Housing Architects and their Work 1893 – 1914', Susan Beattie (Architectural Press, 1980), p.77〕

Stephenson had been a student at the South Kensington Schools, before working as an improver and then a draughtsman under Sir Arthur Blomfield from 1892 to 1893. He joined the LCC the following year. Stephenson became an associate of the RIBA in 1896, sponsored by Blomfield (as well as the Scottish architect, John Slater).〔http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/architect_full.php?id=205148 retrieved 20 March 2014 (1:38), DSA Architect Biography Report (20 March 2014, 1:38 pm), also Directory of British Architects, 1834-1914: Vol. 2 (L-Z), p.695〕 At this time (that is, between its formation in 1893 and the First World War), the work of the 'Housing of the Working Classes' branch of the LCC's Architecture Department has been said to have "the right to be counted among the highest achievements of the Arts and Crafts movement in English Architecture".〔Beattie, p.9〕
Some propose William Riley, the chief architect of the LCC, as the original architect of the Estate, and 'Rob' Robertson (1866 – 1939) declared on his application to the RIBA that he had "taken a leading part in designing all the large housing schemes for the LCC – for example () Caledonian Estate".〔Beattie, p.53〕
