Description: The former infants school is historically significant as the earliest substantial school building in the area, being constructed in 1892. It is a fine example of a Public School designed in the Romanesque style with Gothic influences, constructed of load bearing masonry with a steeply pitched roof, originally clad in slate. Two storey masonry building constructed c 1892 employing elements of the Victorian Gothic and Italianate style. In plan form it is a typical L shape, with the insertion of a prominent entry tower featuring a bellcote roof to the main street facing entry. The four classrooms are arranged over two levels on either side of a hall which runs front to rear. Windows are double hung timber framed with multiple panes to the upper sash. Originally the roof material was slate and the building featured polychromatic face brickwork.
