Appraisal
This former school makes an interesting and positive contribution to the streetscape. Built in the latter part of the nineteenth century, this building retains original features and materials, such as the timber sliding sash windows, timber matchboard doors, and limestone date plaque. The red brick and grey limestone utilised in the construction of this notable building add colour and textural interest to the streetscape.
