Built in 1865 as a home for the sons of deceased and needy Freemasons, it was converted to a Training College for Schoolmistresses in 1904. In 1930 it was sold to the Tottenham District Gas Company and later became the offices of Eastern Gas until 1974 when the site was acquired by Haringey Council under whom the building was modernised and became the Wood Green Crown Court and Remand Centre with the rest of the site developed for housing. The building was struck by arson c1989 and promptly rebuilt with a new and very assertive roof. Text adapted from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lordship_Lane_%28Haringey%29
