Background provided by Brian Joseph:
Corinth House was a boarding house of Cheltenham College. It was
specifically for Jewish boys and from 1892 until 1914 it was run by Ivan
Nestor-Schnurmann who taught German at College and also managed to travel to
Cambridge every week to teach Russian. In 1914 Corinth was taken over by
Daniel Lipson but in 1923 he had a disagreement with College over the terms
of his lease and Corinth ceased to be part of College. Some of the boarders
moved to other College boarding houses and some stayed in Corinth which
Lipson continued to run as a private school for several years.
