It passed to Dale's son-in-law, Robert Owen, in 1799. Owen developed the village into a model community, aiming to make it both profitable and humane. Each apartment in the block had one to four rooms including a kitchen. Decent housing for the workers was an important part of the Owen's humanitarian plan for his model industrial village.
