Eight

School, 16 Brisbane Rd

This school, like the previous two buildings, is composed of non-structural clay bricks. The concrete supports it evident by the columns and floors (all concrete slabs). The Stretcher bond has been used and half bricks were employed for the sills and above the concrete slabs. The bricks are light brown, dark brown and dark red in colour, with the mortar being a creamy brown colour. The joints are iron rod raked and there are no cracks in the mortar. The bricks are all intact and have little to no problems such as chipping or discolouring.
