Description
The Schoolhouse in Lamington is a mid-19th century, two-storey, three-bay former schoolhouse. It has a rectangular plan with a prominent gabled central bay and a lower, shallow-roofed single-storey section at the rear. To the right, there is a small entrance porch at the re-entrant angle, with the main roof extending over it and featuring diamond-pane glazing on the side. The principal windows are adorned with pentice canopies supported by decorative brackets, and the upper windows have tripartite stone mullions. The eaves are overhanging and timber-bracketed, with cross bracing detail at the gable apexes. The building is constructed of whitewashed whinstone rubble, complemented by sandstone quoins.
The windows are timber sash and case with a 4-pane glazing pattern, and the entrance door is a four-panelled timber design. The roof is covered with graduated grey slates, and there are tall corniced ashlar eaves and ridge stacks topped with plain clay cans.
