The College buildings

Abstract

This book chapter discusses the buildings at Chester College. The buildings date back to the 1840s, and demonstrate historical continuity on a single site and the development of teacher training and higher education. The College's building history is discussed in four phases - the pioneer period 1839-1869, the period of consolidation 1870-1900, new beginnings 1901-1939, and the period of expansion 1945-1987.
