Hickey's Almshouses, Tudor Revival almshouses in Richmond, United Kingdom.
The residential complex includes twenty individual homes arranged in a symmetrical layout with two gate lodges and a central chapel dedicated to St Francis of Assisi.
William Hickey's legacy led to the construction of these almshouses in 1834, designed by architect Lewis Vulliamy to provide housing for elderly individuals in financial need.
The almshouses represent the Victorian philanthropic movement that established social support systems through private donations to assist vulnerable community members.
The Richmond Charities manages these residences, offering forty-nine flats and cottages equipped with modern facilities for residents aged sixty-five and older.
The buildings feature high chimneys, steep gable roofs, and decorative half-timbering elements that exemplify the nineteenth-century interpretation of Tudor architecture.
