Ballinvonear School

Detached four-bay single-storey school, built c. 1930, having double gabled porches to front elevation. Now used as house. Pitched slate roof with central brick chimneystack, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted roughcast rendered walls, with limestone plaque between porch windows. Square-headed window openings with limestone sills, having six-over-six pane fixed timber windows to front elevation, six-pane timber casments to porch, six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows to rear elevation, and six-over-twelve pane windows with lower lights fixed to gables. Square-headed door openings to sides of porches, having timber battened doors, west doorway blocked up to form window.

This modest purpose-built rural national school maintains the integrity of its composition by the retention of its historic form and much of its historic fabric such as slate roof and timber windows. In addition to the architectural interest, this small school was of great social importance to the local community.
