Description
Wilson Marriage School, built in 1896 by Goodey and Cressall, is a red brick building with a tiled roof, featuring two and three storeys. The front elevation displays three plain gables and taller end pavilions topped with Dutch gables. There are decorated plaster panels on the plain gables and beneath some of the windows. A tower is located on the west side, topped with a steep roof and a bell turret. The sides and rear of the building are simpler in design.
