Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The former Kilcunda Road State School No. 3337, originally constructed by J.C. Hick in 1902, and later moved to Coal Creek Heritage Village.
Why is it significant?
The former Kilcunda Road State School No. 3337 is of local historic and aesthetic significance to South Gippsland Shire.
Historically, although no longer on its original site, as one of the oldest in the Shire and the only surviving building from the Kilcunda Road district it assists in illustrating the history of that area as well as the early development of community facilties. (AHC criteria A.4 and D.2)
Aesthetically, although basic in design it is notable as an early school that incorporates a number of unusual design features not found on school buildings elsewhere in the Shire. (AHC criterion F.1)

KILCUNDA ROAD STATE SCHOOL NO. 3337 (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
The former Kilcunda Road State School No. 3337 at Coal Creek Heritage Village is a single classroom school of timber construction with a half gabled corrugated iron roof. The building has been incorporated as the northern end and main room of the Masonic Lodge and has an offset gabled roof over the front skillion verandah which may be in part original.
The most notable feature is the bracketed extension of the roof plane to protect the three side windows which have fixed multi-pane sashes with hoppers over, a feature that is not found in other schools in the Shire. Similar windows are located at both ends of the building. The gable end has a triangular louvred vent, as well as heavy brackets, a horizontal frame and a finial. The brackets, frame and finial are repeated in the other new gables of the building, and it is unclear which are original, possibly only the brackets.
