This is a side view of the double-storey Block B of St. Teresa's High School at 480, Kampong Bahru Road. The school was established in 1935 by Reverend Father Stephen Lee as St. Teresa's Sino English Primary School in a rented bungalow at 514, Kampong Bahru Road. Later, a new school building (Block B) was built next to the Church of St. Teresa. It was officially declared open by Apostolate Delegate Archbishop Leo Kierkles on 28 October 1938.

The school became St. Teresa's High School and was closed down in 1998.
