The Improved Industrial Dwellings Company (IIDC) was a Victorian Model dwellings company founded in 1863 by the printer, philanthropist and later Lord Mayor of London Sir Sydney Waterlow. The company operated operating predominantly in Central London as a provider of block dwellings for the working classes, employing a strict selection and discipline regime amongst its tenants to ensure a healthy return on investment.〔Tarn, J.N. (1968) The Improved Industrial Dwellings Company, Transactions of the London and Middlesex Archaeological Society, vol. 22, pp. 43-59.http://www.lamas.org.uk/archives/transactions/volume22.html〕 Starting with a capital of £50,000,〔(National Archives acquisition LMA/4013 )〕 the IIDC became one of the largest and most successful of the model dwellings companies, housing at its height around 30,000 individuals.〔Wohl, A.S.
