St Teresa’s is home to elderly people, many of whom are living with dementia. It consists of properties numbered 40-46 Roland Gardens. The building in the image is No. 46, a house originally designed for the Egyptologist Peter Le Page Renouf. "The name of Renouf's architect is not known, but the striking similarity between No. 46 Roland Gardens and Parmiter's School, Bethnal Green, of 1885–7, designed by T. Chatfeild Clarke, suggests that they may have been by the same hand; and it may be significant that Renouf's many varied activities included the post of H. M. Inspector of Schools for the Bethnal Green area." - Survey of London. Vol. 41: Brompton. London, 1983.
