Heritage Victoria
The building is a two-storey brick and bluestone structure designed in the conservative classical style.
Allom Allom Allom Lovell, 1998:
The former Grosvenor Common School is a two-storey building of brick and bluestone construction, approximately square in plan, with a hipped slate roof. The ground floor is of random coursed bluestone, with contrasting brown and red brick quoining to the window and door openings, voussoirs and corners. The paired entrance doors, presumably separate entries for boys and girls, are flanked by tripartite double-hung sash windows. A plain rendered string course divides the two-storeys. The first floor is of face Flemish bond red and brown brick, also with quoining. There are five double-hung sash windows with vertical glazing bars, rendered sills and red brick voussoirs. The eaves have timber brackets, and the chimneys are of brick with corbelled brick caps.
The side elevations are plainer and with fewer windows, and a large rendered sign at first floor level on the south elevation bears the name BATES COCOA MILLS in raised lettering.Former Grosvenor Common School, later Bates Cocoa Mill (& sign) - Integrity
