Description
Longforgan Primary School and the Old Schoolhouse, built by John Bell between 1833 and 1834, is a single-storey and attic, L-plan building designed in the Tudor Gothic style. A later 19th-century addition transformed it into a T-plan structure. The exterior features stugged coursers and droved ashlar dressings, with some areas repaired using cement. The west elevation is harled, and there is a kitchen addition at the rear. The building has a slate roof and 12-pane sash and case windows on the front, with modern top-hopper and pivot windows at the rear that are not in keeping with the original character. The eaves are deep, and there is a corniced ridge stack that rises through the eaves at the east gable.
On the northeast elevation, there is a panelled door with a Tudor-arched fanlight and a moulded doorcase leading to a porch at the centre re-entrant. This elevation also features a corniced parapet and an octagonal angle buttress that terminates with an ogival-capped, corniced, and panelled finial. To the left, there is a single projecting window with a corniced, facetted roof in a recessed bay, and to the right, a projecting V window with a similar roof in an advanced bay. An attic window with a modern pivot frame is also present, along with a later single-storey addition that is slightly recessed to the far right.
The east gable has a blinded window on both the ground and attic floors. The southeast elevation includes three windows on the gable to the left, a door, and a window in a pentice-roofed addition at the right re-entrant, as well as a gabled dormer head above the original building. The west elevation is blank, with a later single-storey addition to the left.
The interior has not been seen. Surrounding the property is a rubble boundary wall on the north, east, and west sides.
