Description

The building is a schoolhouse for the Female Industrial School located on Station Road in Errol, designed by J, JM, and WH Hay of Liverpool in 1855 and reconditioned in 1925. It is a tall single-storey and attic structure with three bays, featuring Gothic architectural elements, a porch, and a corbelled oriel, situated on a site that slopes down to the east. The exterior is constructed of snecked rubble with polished ashlar dressings, and it has raised base and eaves courses. The entrance includes a pointed-arch doorpiece and trefoil-headed windows with raked cills, complemented by stone mullions and chamfered arrises.

On the east elevation, there is a bay to the left of the center with steps and bootscrapers leading up to a gabled porch that has a boarded timber door, decorative ironwork hinges, and ribbon carving in the gablehead that reads "ALL THY CHILDREN SHALL BE TAUGHT OF THE LORD." There are small pointed-arch lights on each return, a bipartite window to the right, and two small bipartites above that break the eaves into dormerheads. The bay to the left of center features a large tripartite window with a relieving arch.

The south elevation presents a tall gabled façade with a small window that has a basket-arched ogee-headed moulding, leading to an incised panel that states, "This Building for a Female Industrial School was erected through the Exertions of the Rev John Caird minister of the Parish of Errol aided by many friends. Opened February A D 1836." Above this is a corbelled, four-light canted oriel.

On the northeast elevation, there is a four-light window at ground level with a bipartite window above it. The west elevation features a tall single-storey former schoolroom that projects at the center, with a full-height shouldered stack made of brick piercing the eaves at the outer right.

The windows mostly have diamond-pattern timber lights, with a four-light window on the north side featuring a four-pane glazing pattern for each light. The opening casements have plate glass, while the timber sash and case window on the south side has a six-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there is a coped rubble and brick stack with cans. The skews are stepped and ashlar-coped, with moulded skewputts.

The property is enclosed by a coped rubble boundary wall.
