| The first Principal, Miss Louisa Macdonald always referred to the College as 'the House' rather than 'the College'. Its size was comparable to some notable private houses, was well finished but did not boast of extravagant ornamentations. It had a dignified simplicity that was conducive to learning and to cultivating a proper educational philosophy amongst its students while maintaining the ambience of home life.
Since the completion of the original building in 1894, the College has undergone a series of alterations and additions by different architects, working in a variety of styles. Happily, the original main building designed by Sulman and Power has remained virtually intact. The ravages of time have been corrected with the conservation of the building in 2000.
