Title
House of the Divine Compassion in Balaam Street
Description
A view of the front elevation of the House of the Divine Compassion at 42 Balaam Street, Plaistow. This Georgian house with a modern two-storey 1970s extension and modern windows is the premises of the Society of St Francis' Friary in Plaistow, a friary for Anglican Franciscan monastic brothers. It features a Georgian porch surmounted by a triangular pediment with a wooden crucifix attached to the fanlight above the wooden panelled door. An Austin car is parked in front. The building to the right, with glass plate doors, is the Balaam Leisure Centre. The friary building survives and is still used as a charitable base for the Anglican Franciscans in Plaistow, but the Balaam Leisure centre closed in December 2018 due to structural problems.
