Nazareth House, East Finchley, Middlesex

A Nazareth House was opened in 1921 in a large house previously known as Knightons at 162 East End Road, East Finchley, replacing a previous establishment in Chiswick. The home provided accommodation for orphan and destitute children and for the elderly poor. The children taken in were primarily girls although a few young boys were also accommodated.

The building was extended in 1928 and 1936 and a new nursery was added in 1936. The home was no longer used for children after 1974. Since then it has continued to provide residential care for the elderly.
