The smaller of the two groups of buildings on the site. Built late 1950s? for Byng Kenrick Central School and/or Wilfred Martineau School (they appear to have shared the same sites here and at Gressel Lane nearby). In 2001 the school became the International School and Community College, which used this site on Sheldon Hall Avenue until c2010-12. From 2013 to 2017 it provided slummy housing to property guardians. This building comprised four classrooms and various offices and store rooms and what may have been a staff room. Part of the ground floor was latterly occupied by SADIE, a drug & alcohol counselling service. Between 2013-2017 up to 5 property guardians lived here in slowly deteriorating conditions. The buildings were demolished in 2017 and houses built on the site.
