Murrumbeena Primary School - Physical Description 1
A large two and three storeyed Classical Revival brick and stuccoed school, u-shaped on plan and demonstrating Dutch Renaissance influence in the pedimented treatments. The facade is symmetrical with a central recessed colonnaded section about an axial pedimented feature in stucco. The flanking wings incorporate rough cast panels, red brick pilasters and rusticated and pedimented treatment in stucco recalling Baroque forms in a manner characteristic of the period. The north (original) wing has "AD 1916" in the uppermost pediment and "Murrumbeena School No. 3449" in the pediment surmounting the main entry. The rear elevation is bland, with relieving chimney stacks.
Inside, the austere treatment includes v-jointed timber ceilings and dados with solid plasterwork and parquetry floors.Murrumbeena Primary School - Physical Description 2
