Botany Public School

The original building, opened in January 1869, with attached teacher's residence at right. The roof still has the original timber shingles and gabled roof vents. Four of these vents can be seen projecting from the side of the roof. The three lancet windows in the building's main facade are typical of Gothic architecture. In the early 1870s 17 Moreton Bay Figs and 11 Norfolk Island Pines were planted in the school grounds. One of each, protected by paling tree guards, is pictured. The school bell is between the two trees.
