| What is Significant? The former Sebastopol State School No.1167, located at 185-187 Yarrowee Street Sebastopol, built in 1873-4 and designed by architect William Elleker to the extent of the land, and including the mature trees planted on the north boundary and Yarrowee Street boundary. The Sebastopol school is T-shaped in plan, featuring a hipped-roof section running east-west, intersected by a long gabled section projecting south. The facade features a parapeted-gable entrance porch located at the intersection of the projecting hipped-roof northern wing. A shallow parapeted gabled bay window projects from the southern end of the facade. The ground-floor windows have segmentally arched heads with label moulds created by dog-toothed cream bricks and there is an X diaper pattern in cream bricks at the base of the projecting hipped-roof wing. A beltcourse divides the two floors of flat and moulded cream bricks, with a narrow cream brick cornice at the top. The first floor windows are round headed, with label moulds. A band of cream bricks runs at the springing level of the arches. Also of significance on the site are Quercus robur (English Oak), Ulmus procera (English Elm) planted on the boundary of Yarrowee Street, and although later, still significant, a row of Cupressus torulosa (Bhutan cypress) planted on the northern boundary fence. Semi-mature Fraxinus (Ash) are interplanted with the Elms and Oaks. How is it significant? The former Sebastopol State School No.1167 is of local historic, social and architectural significance.
