Statement of Significance

The Third State School on the Palmer Street site was erected in 1941 - 42 to designs prepared by the Public Works Department. The design is simply conceived with gable projections at each end and lines of repetitive windows articulated by string courses and diagonal mullions. A particularly notable feature of the building is the roof gable decoration with its art deco derived mouldings and medallions referring to the history of the town.
