Description

Kingston Grammar School was built around 1877 by Loxwood King. It is an irregular two-storey building designed in an eclectic Gothic and Queen Anne style. The structure is made of yellow stock brick, accented with red brick dressings, and features a tiled roof with gables. The roof has decorative ridge cresting with finials and machicolated eaves brackets. The first floor includes sill and floor sills, and the school hall is supported by buttresses. A tall moulded brick chimney is present, and the building has sash windows, mostly arranged in pairs, with gauged segmental brick arches and moulded surrounds. At the east end, there is a four-window splayed bay. The central entrance bay projects and includes a portico extension with an arched doorway and a pierced parapet above. To the left, there is a diagonal buttress with feathered brick capping.
