Built 1909 as an LCC Education Divisional Office under the supervision of
T J Bailey, Education Architect. It is in late-17th Century style, has 2-storeys
and dormers, is 9-bays wide and symmetrical with a central door.
It is faced in plum brick with dressings of red rubbers and of stone.
A brick plinth supports piers at the angles. The piers rise to a wood modillion
cornice beneath a steep-pitched slate roof. Nearly flush sashes are set in flat-
headed openings with gauged brick jambs and arches, those to the ground floor
having keystones.
The main doorcase has lesenes with their own entablature blocks supporting a
segmental pediment. The tympanum carries an escutcheon with the date 1909 framed
by palm branches. A centrally-placed triple-sash dormer with wood balustraded
parapet is flanked by chimney stacks. There are pairs of segmental-headed sashed
dormers left and right. The stacks have elaborate stepped courses.
