Albion Primary School No 4265 - Physical Description 1
This single-storey school is constructed in face red brick in a Georgian Revival style. It features a red terracotta, tiled, hipped roof with prominent porch over the main entrance in rusticated cement-rendered brickwork. Windows are double-hung sash, twelve pane. A wide-rendered band runs across the top of the wall and above the windows. In plan, the main building is a 'T' shape with the entrance at the junction of the 'T'. Administrative areas are near the entrance and class rooms run off a central corridor. The building is very similar in design to the Sunshine State School No. 3113, of 1931. Other more recent buildings, including portables, have been added to the school, but the original structure retains its integrity. The building is typical of the Georgian revival government style, practised under E. Evan Smith, Chief Architect of the Public Works Department. Planting includes: sugar gums (1920s?), Monterey cypress (2), silky oak, Kurrajong (north east), and sugar gums on the oval to the north.
