BRUNSWICK SOUTH PRIMARY SCHOOL - Physical Description 1
The main building (1886) is a two storey polychrome brick building with multiple gabled slate roofs and white-painted rendered dressings. The gable-ends have centrally-placed cream brick pointed relieving arches with rendered dressings enclosing small quatrefoil moulded motifs. Below these are paired timber frames multi-paned double-hung sash windows with hopper highlights. The main gable to the east of the main entrance is penetrated by the base of a fleche, which was removed in 1958. The main entrance is a small timber-framed portico with bluestone base walls, timber posts and a slate gabled roof with exposed rafter-ends. The gable-end has timber mouldings on the bargeboard and a timber finial. The roofs have small slate-clad dormer ventilators. The chimneys are of particular note, with rendered bases and moulded tops, and attached octagonal shafts (bundled in pairs or fours) in cream brick.
The Infant School (1914) is a single storey red brick Edwardian building, with a combination of gabled and Jerkinhead terracotta tiled roofs. A cream brick string course marks the building's plinth, and openings have rendered dressings. Windows match those on the 1886 building. The roof has decorative terracotta ridging, red brick chimneys with rendered tops, and two prominent rendered ventilators with taped bases.
