"OLD BUILDINGS"

The above coordinates will have you standing on the footpath in front of a couple of Yarrawongas oldest buildings which have since become apart of the Yarrawonga Primmary School.

The Court House was built in the early 1890's and forms part of the early history of Yarrawonga. There are double entry doors and verandahs on each side,corrugated iron roof and timber verandahs. It is a single storey solid red brick building with a timber framed with ide of the main entrance. Whilst the building is structurally sound, some maintenance is required such as a leaking roof, rusted guttering and downpipes need replacing, internal and external cracks in the walls and timber floors need to be re-blocked. The three main rooms in the building are the courtroom, the magistrates? chambers and the administration area. A holding cell and one of the offices was converted into toilets in the 1950s which are located at the back of the site.The building is currently utilised by the adjoining Yarrawonga Primary School as a classroom. They occupy the site under a consent issued to them by the Department after the building was vacated by the Attorney Generals office in the late 1980's.The building is historically significant and provides a mixture of dignity and flamboyance to the streetscape. It is currently included on the State's Buildings Register and is accordingly provided with protection.
