GV II
Girls' junior school, now part of Falmouth Art School. 1907 datestone. Dressed stone brought to course with granite dressings for plinth coping, quoins, transomed mullioned windows, doorways, and copings to shaped and stepped gabled parapets fronting hips of 3 parallel dry Delabole slate hipped roofs plus window projections to returns; arcaded bellcote with ogee lead roof and weather-vane behind principal entrance; one conical ventilator. Regular overall rectangular plan with central hall/assembly block flanked by classrooms with passages between. Jacobean Revival style. Symmetrical 1:1:2:1:1-bay front. Chamfered mullioned and cross-transomed windows. Nowy-headed dormer window above plaque set between central pair of finialled shaped gables with flanking pilasters; quatrefoils over 4-light windows. Porches in return angles have 3-light overlights set in nowy-headed pediments. End bays set back, with square returns to nowy-headed parapets over larger 3-light windows (similar window to each end of return elevations). Original doors and windows with glazing bars. INTERIOR not inspected. A well-crafted example in a mannered, almost Art Nouveau, interpretation of the Jacobean style commonly adopted for Board schools of the period.
