Statement of Significance
To the west of the school is a relatively large, hipped weatherboard shed with an open front and projecting gable facing the school. This appears to have been the school shelter shed. The school master’s residence is to the south of the school building.
Aesthetically, it is important as part of a rare extant example of an early complex of school, residence and outbuildings, which were constructed at the same time. (AHC criterion - E.1)
Socially, it is one of the public buildings including the hall (now demolished) and the former Methodist Church that played an important role in the development of the Dollar community, and is an integral part of the identity of the local area. (AHC criterion - G.1)
