ST BRENDAN'S ROMAN CATHOLIC SENIOR SCHOOL - Physical Description 1
In red brick and textured stucco, the school is disposed as two gabled wings, either side of a timber-posted verandah. Attic windows look out from the centre of a transverse-gabled main roof whilst a similar elevation occurs at the rear. Although symmetrical in plan the school takes on many of the characteristics of the domestic Queen Anne including the French terracotta tile, half-timbered gables, and terracotta ridge ornament. Segment and full arched openings, with label moulds spanning between bosses, declare the Medieval period ancestry of the details. The remnant planting appears to have some original elements.
Generally original except for paint colours, boundary fence (sympathetic) and the attic glazing.
Relates well to the street by its minimal set-back and to the adjoining church; occupies a corner site and shares stylistic characteristics with the police station and court house opposite (qv).
