Navarino Mansions - Art Nouveau social housing

A bit earlier than my usual point of interest but this is the building that overlooks my little flat, its a beauty - thats the only reason I don't mind it being so close!

"Navarino Mansions was designed in the Arts and Crafts style by the architect Nathan Joseph to provide accommodation for 300 Jewish artisans from the East End. The buildings were completed on the south side of Dalston Lane in 1905 by the philanthropic association of the Four Per Cent Industrial Dwellings Company. During the 1990s the estate was totally refurbished to the designs of the architects Hunt Thompson. "

Its mainly social housing, a lot of elderly people and some very loud folk just opposite me. :-(
