Mount Pleasant School

Detached six-bay single-storey national school, dated 1876, with flat-roofed extension to rear (west). Now disused. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with rendered plinth. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with horizontal glazing bars. Square-headed door openings with overlights and timber battened doors. Carved limestone plaque to front. Plastered walls and ceiling to interior with stone framed fireplace with cast-iron fittings. Square-profile dressed sandstone gate piers with cut limestone caps and remains of rubble stone boundary wall.

The simple geometric form of this school is typical of its time. The building retains timber sash windows within the tall gable windows designed to provide maximum natural light. The central chimneystack provided a flue for a double sided fireplace to heat the gender divided classrooms.
