Description
This building, originally a mission house and reading room dating to around 1860, now functions as an infant school. It is constructed of brick with blue and white brick and limestone dressings, featuring a left-hand lateral chimney stack and a double Roman hipped and gabled roof. The building follows a single-depth plan and is designed in a polychromatic Venetian Gothic Revival style.
The building has two storeys and an attic, presented as an 11-window range. The left-hand section, with a gabled design and attic, includes a set-back single-window projection to its left. This section features black brick bands, two-centred arched ground-floor windows, and a right-hand entrance door with black brick and alternating black and white brick voussoirs, as well as round panels set between. The first-floor windows have semicircular arched relieving arches with alternating coloured voussoirs, while the attic windows are similar, with a pointed relieving arch above the centre and a blind oculus.
The long right-hand block mirrors this design, with some painted black bands and voussoirs. A continuous ashlar band to the ground floor displays the inscription "THE MISSION HOUSE AND READING ROOM" in raised lettering. Ground-floor windows are 6/6-pane horns; above, there are plate-glass sashes.
The rear elevation showcases a left-hand gable, a hipped-roofed porch, an arcade of five small two-centred arched windows on the first floor, and a large round window within the gable, framed by a brick-on-edge surround. The right-hand section has uneven window placement, with outer doorways evident.
The interior has undergone extensive remodelling.
