Geelong. This fine Gothic school and headmaster's residence was built in 1857. It was the original Geelong Grammar School for Boys. Still probably the most prestigious boys school in Australia. School moved from here 1914..

Old Geelong Grammar and Headmaster’s Residence. 55 Maud Street, Geelong. Local architects Backhouse and Reynolds designed this beautiful three storey Tudor gothic mansion in 1857. (They also designed the Matthew Flinders school Fenwick Street in 1856). The section with the fine roof gables with dormer windows was the head master’s residence. The school rooms were less fancy. The whole structure was built in local basalt and cement rendered. Additions were made in 1884 as the school had a quadrangle design but the other sides have now been demolished. This was the centre of the prestigious Geelong Grammar School until the school moved to its present site on Corio Bay in 1914. Old Geelong Grammar was condemned when a new owner restored it in 2016. It is now used for university student accommodation.
