Arlington House, Grade II listed hostel in Camden Town, England.
Arlington House accommodates 150 residents through a mix of homeless shelter units and sub-market rental apartments in north London.
The building opened in 1905 as the last and largest of the Rowton Houses, initially providing accommodation for 1,200 tenants in Camden.
Photographer Deirdre O'Callaghan documented daily life at Arlington House through a four-year project resulting in the publication Hide That Can.
The facility includes conference spaces, training programs, and social enterprise partnerships to support residents in developing professional skills.
The structure maintains its original purpose as the sole remaining active Rowton House, serving as the largest residential facility for Irish men outside Ireland.
