Whitefields Workhouse

The Whitefields Workhouse was established as a place for lower-class laborers to live and work in the Harlowe neighborhood of Norrilund. The workhouse is an imposing five story red brick slab with a series of arch-topped windows regularly running about all of the floors. Located across from Radley Green, with its crowded burial ground, and the Hutton Infirmary, the workhouse is segregated by sex, with men in the west wing, women in the east. The ground floor contains the offices for the porters and overseer, the second and third floors are reserved for the living quarters of the inmates, and the uppermost floor is set aside for children under the age of fourteen. The living quarters are an open bay, the better to protect the occupants from their own natures and allow the staff to monitor their behaviour. Kitchen and canteen occupy the building's center wing. These rooms are used for church services, as well.
