Cabot House is named after a famous Bristolian, John Cabot, an Italian-born explorer who sailed from Bristol to Newfoundland. These buildings once served as an institute for orphans. Many of the windows are placed high in the walls. It is said that the purpose of this was to prevent the children from being distracted. Nowadays these buildings serve a happier purpose, housing, amongst other courses, those designed to enable students to study to gain entrance Higher Education.
