Summary

Training School (Left) and Model School (Right), Grote Street, South side. The Model School was built in 1874 and featured a pointed Gothic arch which was associated with seats of learning. The central fleche was taken down at some time but it is still a good example of an early school built by the Government of South Australia. Next door the Training School for Teachers was originally a Tudor design and was erected in 1876. It was also a bluestone building which has now been rendered. The two storey building with its imposing Northern and Western walls and wrought iron gates shows rich neo-gothic decoration. A second storey was added in 1909-10.
