The School of Arts
Millthorpe has many classic heritage building and the main streets of town are lined with them and cars because many have been converted to upmarket shops and eateries. Great for the town, a bit annoying for the photographer!
Schools of Art were more or less community buildings, sometimes grand, sometimes just plain utilitarian that could be likened to community halls where various arts (like music, dancing etc) were taught and events conducted. They more or less continue to perform such today. This one appears to have been built in 1897 according to the date emblazoned on the ridge of the front edifice!
