ALLAMBEE SOUTH STATE SCHOOL NO.3075 (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
The former Allambee South State School No. 3075 is a small one-room timber school, clad in weatherboards with a hip roof.
The most notable feature is the pair of corner windows with horizontal glazing barsin the east elevation, which demonstrate the "Moderne" influence upon school design during the interwar period. It is very small with dimensions of only 21' 6" x 18', which makes it one of the smallest of the extant one-room schools in the Shire.
There are a number of contemporary outbuildings including a shelter shed and toilets and the entire complex is enclosed by a stand of mature Monterey Cypresses (Cupressus Macrocarpa).Heritage Study and Grading
