Description
Lansdowne School, Infants, is a single-storey building designed in the Elizabethan style, closely resembling the upper floor of the Junior block. It is constructed from Newbridge sandstone rubble in thin courses, with Bath stone dressings, brick chimney stacks, and Welsh slate roofs. The front elevation features six bays, with the second and fifth bays recessed and the forward bays gabled. Each inner bay has a 4-light window on the ground floor, while bays 1 and 6 have 5-light windows. Some windows still have their small panes, while others have been replaced with plate glass. The two central bays display a triple coat-of-arms in the gable, which are connected by a plain 4-centred arch. The gables on bays 1 and 6 feature panels with four coats-of-arms. All four gables have a stone ventilator at the apex, and the central gables retain their tall finials. The building has steeply pitched roofs with tall brick stacks that have stone bands and weathered tops. The return elevations are mostly blind, except for paired 2-light windows with gables that light the central corridor. The rear elevation has not been seen. The interior was not observed during the resurvey.
