From the Wikipedia article
St Helen's House is a Grade I listed building. situated in King Street, Derby, England. Now leased as offices, it has been used in the past as a private residence and as an educational establishment. In 2013, renovation of the main house was completed. Originally it was planned to convert both St Helen's House and the Pearson Building into a luxury hotel, with an adjoining crescent of new apartments. Due to the economic situation in 2011 this plan was changed, and it was decided to convert the building into an office instead. Renovation of the Pearson Building began in 2020 to convert its ground and first floors into commercial units and the upper floor into apartments. In 2019 several of the associated building were demolished to make way for the Kings Crescent Apartments.

Architecture
St Helen's House was built between 1766 and 1767 for John Gisborne (of Yoxall Lodge, Staffordshire). The house was built in the Palladian style by architect Joseph Pickford. It originally stood in 80 acre of parkland. It has been described by Maxwell Craven, for the Georgian Group of London, as "one of the few surviving purpose-built Georgian gentleman’s town houses of this size and quality outside London.". His report details the construction of the House along with the alterations and extensions added by William Strutt (1756–1830).
