Description
Doorway of the Craft School at number 37-39 Stepney Green, Stepney. There are steps with iron handrails leading up to the front door which has panelled pilasters and carved scroll brackets supporting a shell hood, with "The Craft School" written above. Two sash windows are visible to the right of the door, and three of the five first-floor windows with Juliet balconies can be seen. This Grade II listed Queen Anne House was built in 1694 by Dormar Sheppard, a enslaver and merchant. Notable owners include Dame Mary Gayer, widow of the East India Company's Governor of Bombay, and in 1812-19 Nicholas Charrington, proprietor of the local Charrington Brewery. It became an institution and was a home for aged Jews after 1880, the Craft School in 1907, and served as Council Offices and a Careers Office during the 1980s. In 1998 it was purchased by the Spitalfields Trust and restored to become a family home.
