Adelphi

The Adelphi refers to a London development in the City of Westminster (London, England). The Adelphi buildings are a block of 24 neoclassical terrace houses built between 1768 and 1772 by the Adam brothers. The Adelphi Terrace was considered fashionable housing, but was built on top of a network of catacombs (the Arches), which formed a subterranean set of streets where poor people lived and worked. The Adelphi was frequently mythologized in popular culture, juxtaposing the wealthy inhabitants of the Terrace with the impoverished, sometimes criminalized people below.
