Hi - a bit late to the party(!) but if anyone's still interested here's a bit of information about the Whitevale Mission. It was designed by John Honeyman in 1878 and offered accommodation and employment in laundries for women recently released from nearby Duke Street Prison. More info and plans:

https://digital.nls.uk/directories/browse/archive/86397559?mode=transcription"This Home was begun in 1878, and its object also
is to provide for females who have been in prison, and
desire to lead a better life. The two homes are worked
much on the same lines as to the length of stay re-
quired and the food and outfit given ; also as to the
effort made to find occupation for the women when
they leave, after remaining their full time — i.e., a
year. The special feature of the Whitevale Shelter is
its large washing-house and laundry, in which the
greater number of the 70 women are employed, the
rest being engaged in sewing, with the exception of
a few, who are occupied in knitting or housework.
Both Homes are equally dependent on the public
for employment. Our Bible Woman meets the female
prisoners daily at the Prison Gate on their liberation
from Prison."
This thesis has a lot of detail about its two Quaker founders, Misses White and Bryson:
