College House, College Street


College House on College Street in Newcastle was built in 1883 by R.J. Johnson as a new location for Dame Allan's Schools (est. 1705). In more recent times it has housed the Careers Centre of Northumbria University. College House is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England. There is a statue of Dame Allan in the gable end of the adjacent building. 

A heritage plaque on the building states: "Dame Allan's Schools / 1883 - 1935 / Dame Allan's Boys' School (first floor) / and / Girls' School (ground floor) by R J Johnson / Dame Eleanor Allan founded the original schools in 1705 to provide a proper education for 40 poor boys and 20 poor girls from the parishes of St Nicholas and St John".
