Description
Steps and doorway of numbers 37-39 Stepney Green, Stepney, with ornate iron handrails leading up to the front door. Two sash windows are visible to the right of the door. 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.
