The blocks were named Jenner House, Lister House and Norfolk House. In 2007, two of the blocks were demolished and Norfolk House was reclad and subsequently renamed Leamington Court

She lived at 21 Frognal Lane, Hampstead and some sources from the 1920s refer to a Miss J Macfee at this address during her work for the Nurses Missionary League
