Situated at Stanley, Hong Kong Island, the School House of St. Stephen's College was completed in 1930. The main building is an H-shape structure with 2 to 3-storeys. On ground level there was a chapel and an assembly hall, while the dormitories of students and housemasters were housed on the second floor. The building was constructed with external walls of granite on the ground floor and plain rendered brick walls on the upper floor, topped with concrete pitched roof. The original roofs were made of Chinese tiles, which were replaced by patching mat in the 1980s. With Palmer & Turner as its architect, the School House was built in Art and Craft style. In Christmas Day of 1945, Japanese troops carried out a massacre on the School House. The building became part of the Japanese Internment Camp during the Japanese Occupation. It resumed its role in education in the post-war period. The assembly hall was reconstructed into a library and the building became a declared monument in Hong Kong in 2011
