Completed in 1930, the Christchurch Teachers’ Training College was designed in Gothic Revival style by George Penlington, the Canterbury Education Board Architect. The unstable ground, with a high peat content, caused the building to settle and crack within a year of construction.[1] The training college had a close connection to the nearby Christchurch Normal School, later known as Cranmer Court. The Normal School provided a 'normal' school environment where since 1877, trainee teachers could observe their experienced peers in a teaching environment. The trainee teachers were based at the Normal School until the Teachers' College Building was built for them.[2]

Stewart Ross was the architect responsible for converting the school into the current Peterborough apartments,[1] while Robert Douglas Brown was the developer.[3] An underground car park was created in the courtyard as part of the conversion to apartments.[1] The survey plans for the subdivision into individual titles are from 1998.[4]
