Faith House in Tufton Street
Description
Front elevation of Faith House, 7 Tufton Street, Westminster, viewed from the corner of Little Smith Street. Tufton Street was originally built by Sir Richard Tufton in the seventeenth century. Faith House was designed in 1898 by Sir Edwin Lutyens as the Church Institute for St John's, Smith Square, and built 1905-7. The two-storey building with dormer attic is brick with stone dressings and arched entrances at ground-floor level. It was taken over by the Society of the Faith in 1935 and Grade II listed in 1987, listing number 1357330. Beyond Faith House is St Edward's Chapel and entrance to 22 Great College Street, both built for the Society of St John the Evangelist. The gothic-style buildings were designed by Edward Burgess, built 1903-5 and Grade II listed in 1987, listing number 1066768. In the foreground 9 Tufton Street is partially visible, built in 1899 as a drill hall for 23rd Middlesex Rifle Volunteer Corps. The east side of Tufton Street lies within the Smith Square conservation area designated in 1969 and was significantly redeveloped in the early-twentieth century. Faith House is still extant, with Watts & Co., ecclesiastical suppliers shop, at street level. Both St Edward's Chapel and the drill hall are extant and the latter is now the Manoukian Music Centre, a performance space and recording studio for Westminster School.
