Greenwood Park Kindergarten - Physical Description 1
A Modernist elegant and simple timber pavilion, with low-pitch gabled roof of corrugated galvanised steel. The rear deck is under cover with a window-wall orientated towards the sun. The chimney is in grey bricks. The roof extends to cover the open entrance porch, protected behind a partition, with a window decorated with lozenge panes and with crazy-paving Castlemaine slate paving. Windows are otherwise simple awning squares. The building is clad with lapped boards, as a domestic fence. It is painted the same dull green as the leaves of the Lemon eucalyptus which dominates the entrance. It makes a fine setting, facing the Reserve.
