The Victoria Institute was converted into residential apartments in the 1990s. Work commenced on the building in 1894 with the Duke of York, the future King George V laying the foundation stone in April of that year. The building which also includes a museum and library was the School of Science and Art and a predecessor of the present Worcester College of Technology which relocated to Deansway in 1962, however, this building remained as part of the college until the 1990s. Built in red-brick and terracotta at a cost of about £25,000, the architects were JW Simpson & EJ Milner Allen.
