Background
Architecture
Until the 1930s, the building was known as Terrace House. and was most likely completed in 1699. Between 1840 and 1926, the house was occupied by a teacher training college - Battersea College, later St Johns College. Founded by James Kay-Shuttleworth, it was the first institution dedicated to training teachers specifically for disadvantaged children. St Johns merged with St Marks College Chelsea on the Chelsea site between 1923 and 1926, forming the College of St Mark and St John. It moved to Plymouth in 1973. Battersea Council almost demolished the house in the 1920s and built St. John's estate This collection is now kept by the De Morgan Foundation. The building was listed on 28 June 1954
