Dufferin House is named in honour of one of Bangor’s greatest sons, the Marquess of Dufferin.
Dufferin was one of the most outstanding diplomats of the Victorian era, and during an illustrious career served as Governor General of Canada and Viceroy of India.
His wife, the Dowager Marchioness of Dufferin, presented a golden key to Mr. Robert Ward and Mr. William Crosby on the opening of the new school building on College Avenue, and was a generous and loyal champion of the school.
