Dental Clinic Building

Description
Early site drawings suggest that this was originally a wing of the original Workshop complex that was burnt down, later to be replaced by the present Workshops Block. The brick wall with bullnose coping, extending northwards from the west end of the Dental Building, was evidently the wall connecting the two.
The building is a single-storey structure of brick, with a gabled roof of terracotta tiles. A narrow bay at the west end has a smaller gable roof surmounted by a circular metal roof vent. The most notable feature of the building is the row of wall arches formed in the north wall. They seem to have been an adaptation of earlier walling and have since been filled in with timber framed panels with windows. The triple windows in the east end appear to be original.
Reason for Listing
Part of a significant Federation period institutional complex of fine buildings and landscape. An interesting surviving wing of an earlier building.
