Description

Errol Public School, located on Station Road in Errol, was likely built in 1925. It is a single-storey, seven-bay Board School designed in the Renaissance style, featuring an ogee-roofed belfry. The building has a raised base course and an eaves cornice, constructed from ashlar stone with raised margins. The windows are notable for their keystoned, pilastered, and corniced Venetian style, along with glazed occuli and stone mullions.

The southeast elevation is symmetrical, with a central bay that includes a bipartite window leading to a gable head with an oculus. This is flanked by cubic skew blocks topped with ball finials and a semicircular pediment. The belfry has round-headed openings on each face and a decorative cast-iron finial at the roof ridge. The smaller bipartite windows in the flanking bays have deep-set timber doors with multi-pane fanlights, including a door on the right that has a disabled access ramp. The outer curvilinear gables each feature a broad Venetian window, with skew blocks and an oculus in an oversized triangular pediment.

The northeast elevation consists of five bays, with a slightly advanced gable at the center that mirrors the detailing of the outer bays on the southeast. The flanking bays each have bipartite windows, except for the outer right bay, which has a single window.

On the southwest elevation, there is a bipartite window in the center bay that matches the detailing of the center bay on the southeast, while the flanking bays are blank. The northwest (rear) elevation shows a variety of elements due to alterations, including a broad tripartite window on the right gable and two original piended dormers.

The windows feature multi-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case style. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped brick stacks, ashlar-coped skews, square-section gutters, and cast-iron downpipes.

Inside, there are some timber boarded dadoes and coombed ceilings. A pedimented timber 'Dux' board from 1925 to 1971 is also present.

The school has two ancillary buildings, which are slated and piended brick playsheds supported by cast-iron columns. The playshed to the southwest includes a non-functional cast-iron water fountain stamped 'GLENFIELD & KENNEDY KILMARNOCK'.

The boundary walls consist of saddleback-coped squared rubble with quadrant walls, featuring pyramidally-coped, square-section ashlar piers. The high coped rubble boundary walls further define the property.
