Description
Octavia Hill
(December 3, 1838 – August 13, 1912)
Wisbech, Cambridgeshire
Octavia Hill believed that a well-maintained home, however small, with light, air, space and with neighbors who care about each other is one of life’s main necessities. She bought three houses in what is now central London. Each week, she personally collected the rent and discussed with the tenants the problems that were facing them. Housing was the foundation for her work, then she went on to help found the National Trust in 1894.
