Raine's House, sometimes called Raine House, is a Grade I listed house in Raine Street, Wapping, London E1. This listing recognizes the building's special architectural or historic interest. ==History== This structure was built in 1719, and founded as a charity school by Henry Raine (1679–1738), who had made a large sum of money from selling alcohol. As a devout Christian, he felt that he should be philanthropic, and decided to found a school where poor children could get a free education. This school was built in the neighborhood where he lived and he named it "the Lower School". It originally accommodated 50 boys and 50 girls.〔(Website of the Anglican parish of St George-in-the-East with St Paul ) (accessed June 10, 2015).〕 In recent years, this building has been used as a community center, and as offices of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. The original school moved, and is now called the Raine's Foundation School, on Approach Road, Bethnal Green.
