Garryross National School

Detached four-bay single-storey national school, built 1862, now partly in ruins with rear wall removed. Steeply pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, red brick chimneystacks to gables, and cast-iron gutter to front elevation. Roughcast rendered walls. Limestone plaque above entrance reading ‘GARRYROSS N.S. 1862-1960’. Bipartite two-over-two timber sash windows with stone sills. Timber sheeted entrance door with exposed timber lintel. Sections of random rubble boundary walls with rendered square-profile piers and forged metal pedestrian gate.

An interesting example of a rural national school that is unfortunately now in a ruinous state. The distinctive bipartite windows are of particular aesthetic quality and the traditional plain sheeted doors add to the building's traditional character. The building is an important physical feature in the social history of the area. It makes an eyecatching addition to the rural landscape in its prominent roadside location.
