St Helen's House, Grade I listed building in Derby, England

St Helen's House stands in King Street with a symmetrical design featuring large windows and classical proportions from the Georgian architectural period.

Joseph Pickford constructed this residence in 1767 for John Gisborne, and William Strutt purchased it in 1801 before the property became Derby Grammar School.

The structure represents one of the few remaining Georgian town houses of substantial size and quality found outside of London in England.

The building changed its purpose from educational facility to hotel, with multiple transportation options available from Derby city center.

During World War II, the Ordnance Survey organization utilized the building for creating military maps before the school returned in 1945.
