Orange Row is marked by a distinctive terrace of mid-nineteenth century houses, identifiable by their curved, slightly bulging facades that seem to lean into the street. These homes provided housing for the laborers and tradespeople who supported Brighton’s rapid expansion during the Victorian era. In eighteen seventy-two, a severe cholera outbreak swept through these cramped quarters, leading local officials to draft plans for demolition and reform. The narrow street remains, however, still holding the original rhythm of the tight, working-class row.
