Model School House Education Offices, 28 Dublin Road, Enniskillen BT74 6HN

Model School House Education Offices is a handsome two-storey residence built between 1865 and 1867 to designs by Enoch Trevor Owen. Originally constructed as the headmaster's residence for Enniskillen Model School, it now serves as educational offices for WELB. The building stands on the north-eastern side of Dublin Road on the south-eastern outskirts of Enniskillen, set back from the pavement behind a lawn enclosed by a masonry wall and railings.

The structure is built in red and orange clay brick with rock-faced squared limestone facing. It is roughly E-shaped in plan, comprising a main rectangular section with three rear returns—the centre one being single-storey while those at the ends are two-storey. Single-storey extensions have been appended to each of the two-storey returns.

The west front façade features a central breakfront with a projecting door surround. The replacement timber panelled door sits within a semi-circular arched opening. A plain fanlight rests on a projecting stone cornice that extends around the surround as a stringcourse. The voussoirs alternate with cut stone and radial bricks. The surround is topped with a stepped cut stone inscribed plaque reading 'District National Model School', recently topped with lead flashings. The stone cornice beneath has also been topped with lead flashings.

Fenestration to the front and side façades is regularly arranged, with less formal arrangement to the rear. Window openings to the first floor of the west façade are semi-circular arched, arranged singly but mainly in pairs. Voussoirs alternate with cut stone and radial bricks, with cut stone sills. Ground floor openings are segmental-headed with radial brick arches, keystones and decorative imposts set rather low, resting on a cut stone sill course. All original windows have 6/6 painted timber sash frames. Openings to the rear have segmental heads and brick dressings, also with 6/6 painted timber sash frames. Openings to the later extensions generally have painted timber casement frames.

The front and side walls are faced with brick resting on a canted rock-faced squared rubble base, with the plinth set on a canted base, both slightly battered. Rear walls are faced with squared rock-face rubble with brick quoins. A dressed stone eaves course runs around the building. The main and return roofs are hipped and slated with red fireclay ridge tiles. The large Tudoresque chimneysstacks have been removed. The three small extensions have varied roof treatments: one flat, one with a slated lean-to, and one with a pitched slated roof. Rainwater goods are cast-iron with round downpipes secured by decorative cast-iron brackets.

A pedestrian gateway with replacement steel gate stands symmetrically arranged in front of the main front door, flanked by brick gate pillars topped with pyramidal stone caps. Walls are of squared rock-face rubble with wrought-iron railings. A wider modern gateway to the right side is shared with the adjacent school. Behind the building is a car park, beyond which stands the modern school that replaced the original school building in 1974-75.
