Description
Detached eight-bay single-storey school, dated 1885, having entrance doorways to each end bay. Now derelict. Pitched slate roof, with brick chimneystack and with round vents to upper gables, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered rubble limestone walls, with inscribed limestone plaques above doorways, that to west reading 'Brooklawn Male National School 1885'. Square-headed window openings, with limestone sills and remains of timber sliding sash windows having three-over-three horizontal panes.
Appraisal
The school is one of the larger school buildings dating from the late nineteenth century and is an indication of the population at that period. It is relatively intact and retains most of its original features.
