Details Residential school house, still in use, designed by George Kennedy, dating 1939. It is a two-storey, 13-bay, U-plan, weather boarded house, with walls consciously designed to lean outwards and a concrete base course. The centre nine bays are slightly advanced, with a centre, square-headed entrance to the court. The first-floor centre bay is bracketed and jettied, and flanked by pilasters supporting a shaped open pediment with a long centre window. The first floor windows to the other advanced bays are tall, with moulded wooden architraves. The east elevation is nine-bay, and the west five-bay. The windows have multi-pane glazing, and there is a piended wooden shingled roof. Troops were assembled here during World War II.
