[General description] This building was constructed as the Queen's School in 1892, to a design by the architect, FJ Naish. Trees in front of the building have been pruned to assist the building renovation work. It is a plain building in the 19th century villa style in keeping with the private residences in the area, but a decorative porch will be added on later in 1928.
