NEWCASTLE GOVERNMENT SCHOOL, DUKE STREET
c. 1896Black & white photo.
Either side of the building is a wood picket fence and a foot path to the front which we know today as Duke Street.
The school building was constructed in two stages. The original 1886 section, shown here, is in Victorian Gothic style in red brick with a high pitched gable roof and was designed by architect George Temple-Poole.
The original building comprised two classrooms, 36 by 18 feet (11.0 by 5.5 m) and 18 by 12 feet (5.5 by 3.7 m), and a cloakroom.
The building was not fenced until at least 1891.
A classroom extension in Federation style red brick with a low pitched corrugated iron roof and tall chimney was added in 1900.
