Summary

[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. By that time the school had produced six Rhodes scholars and other notable figures such as the aviators, Sir Keith and Ross Smith, and the physicist, Sir William Bragg. It was a non-church private school.
