Central Model School was established in 1883 as middle school in the building of Anarkali Girls High School, opposite the Punjab University senate hall. The middle school was upgraded to high level in 1888 and shifted to a portion of Central Training College. The space in the training college being insufficient, the school was shifted to the present building in 1891 near District Courts Lahore.
Junior classes were abolished in 1920 by Mr. H.T. Nolton, the headmaster but were restored in 1940 by the first Muslim headmaster of the school Mr. M.A. Makhdumi.
Central Model School served as a laboratory school for the Central Training College from 1891 to 1991.
The school was granted autonomous status in 1990, with its own board of governors.

Established on 23 March 1825 in Edinburgh, the Life Insurance Company of Scotland changed its name to the Standard Life Assurance Company in 1832 by royal assent.
The Bombay office is a wonderful example of British commercial architecture transplanted to Bombay. Highly decorative, featuring balconies, balustrades parapet and urns, it was designed by leading Bombay architects Gostling & Morris. Like the Calcutta building, it features Standard Life's logo of the biblical Ten Virgins in statue form in the main pediment; the parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13,) being deemed to be an appropriate motif for an insurance company with the message of always being prepared for future contingencies. The year '1825' (being the founding of the company) cane be deciphered through the grime.
Named after William Hornby, Governor of Bombay from 1771 to 1784, Hornby Road is at the heart of the European center of the Fort area of Bombay. This busy streets cape retains its heritage architecture, a medley of Victorian Neo-Gothic, Indo-Saracenic, Neo-classical and Edwardian structures linked together by a continuous ground floor pedestrian arcade mandated by government regulation in 1896. The pedestrian arcade provided shelter from rain and the sun and remains among the early urban design statements of colonial India.
