Description

Built in 1888, this beautiful single room school house is the last of its kind in the Melbourne metropolitan area. The schools was constructed as a gabled rendered brick building with a slate tiled roof. There was also a gabled porch at each end of the building. The facility offers a rare combination of warmth and heritage character and huge windows providing natural light.

The former Laverton State School is significant to the Melbourne’s west as it is one of only a small number of well preserved 19th century school buildings remaining. It is also recognised as the oldest building in the locality, standing out as once an isolated structure serving a rural community, and the focal point of the local community over a long period.
