Description
Wallingford Upper School is a school building constructed around 1877 by W. Stevenson of Nottingham, with a laboratory added in 1899. It is made of red brick and features an old plain-tile complex roof with paired brick ridge stacks at the center. The main structure is a central schoolhouse flanked by single-storey classroom wings on both sides, designed in the Arts and Crafts Gothic style. The central block is three-storey with five windows, while the wings are single-storey. There are panelled doors leading to recessed porches with two-centred arches on either side of the main block. The building has complex fenestration, primarily consisting of wood mullion and transom windows, with wood cross windows in the classroom wings. The interior has not been inspected. To the left of the main building is a laboratory pavilion, also made of red brick, with an old plain-tile hipped roof and a single-storey two-window range.
