    Footscray North Primary School, SS4160 - Physical Description 1

    Designed under Chief Public Works architect, E. Evan Smith, this school takes up the Georgian revival manner so favoured by Smith. It is two-storey, half red brick and half textured stucco and has a hipped and tiled roof with the characteristic overhanging eaves. Elements of Baroque detailing are apparent over windows and at the entrance where an ox-bow arch supports a miniature stepped parapet holding the school's name.
