The former Boys Grammar School was built in 1881. It is a two storey Victorian Gothic design with decorated bargeboards and verandah valences. Some of its original features were lost when the slate roof was replaced with iron. Four Rhodes scholars passed through its doors and many students went on to distinguished careers. On the right is the former Girls Grammar School, which opened two years later. It is built in Classic Revival style, with a wide verandah leading to the internal cedar staircase. The Assembly Hall was added in 1888.
