Harkaway Primary School No. 1697 - Physical Description 1
Harkaway Primary School No.1697 is still in use and remains remarkably intact. A single room building constructed in brown brick, it has alternating stretcher and header brick courses. Four-pane, double-hung sash windows with red brick shallow arch head and bluestone sills in three bays at the side of the building are original. More recent six-paned window groupings to the north and south of the building have replaced the original casement windows. At the southern end a later porch addition is constructed in machine pressed red brick with bluestone sills imitating the original windows. The chimney in the west wall is intact but internally the fireplace has been removed, as has the teaching platform. The slate roof has been replaced with corrugated iron but the ceiling is intact and lined with bead-edged pine boards.
Overall, the building is in good condition, although the footings are showing signs of deterioration. The school is located on a site of approximately 1.62 hectares.Heritage Study and Grading
