Description
This is an attractive former schoolhouse, built between 1860 and 1879 and now serving as Rosslea Heritage Centre. It retains its original layout and is a notable feature on Monaghan Road. The building is a symmetrical three-bay, two-storey structure aligned northwest-southeast on the south side of the road. It has a pitched natural slate roof with brick chimneys at each gable, and an advanced stone eaves course supporting ogee metal rainwater goods. The walls are constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with stepped dressed stone quoins. Most windows are 2/2 exposed box sliding sashes with horns and stone lintels and cills; those on the first floor have stepped brick jambs. The principal, southwest-facing elevation features three equally spaced openings on each floor. The ground floor centre window is a large, segmental-headed fixed pane window with a keyblocked and voussoired head. A set of thirteen stone steps with a modern metal railing leads to a t+g-sheeted door at first floor level on the left gable. The original rear elevation features three narrow ventilation openings on the ground floor and two windows matching the façade on the first floor. A small fixed 3x1 pane window remains in an infilled opening on the left, with the original cill and brick reveals visible. A modern single-storey entrance and amenity block extends from the right gable, joined by a short glazed link block. The extension block replicates the original building’s detailing, including a brick chimney. A plaque above the entrance reads 'Rosslea / Heritage Centre / 1991'. The right elevation includes a large 2x3 top-hung casement, a 2x2 top-hung casement, three modern timber-sheeted doors accessed by a ramp, and gableted louvred window heads. The rear gable has obscurely glazed and louvred windows and a timber-sheeted door. The northwest elevation is unremarkable. The building was first documented in the valuation revision book of 1879. It demonstrates architectural value through its style, proportions, plan form and local historical significance.
