Description

Photo of a class sitting in the old stone school (likely early 1900s).

The school was located at the southwest corner of Queen and James Streets. It served as a combined school and church building at first, then was exclusively a school and then finally a building for the 110th Perth Battalion Platoon (between 1914 and 1916). After the new Central School was built, there was no longer a use for the building and it was torn down in 1916.
