These buildings are of sandstone, with brick dressings and tiled roofs, of good design, and very substantial. They are very ornate, the roofs are expensively wrought, and very lofty, and are quite open. The rooms are well lighted, the centre lights being made to open 

Tobin Tunes and Exhaust Ventilators would be an improvement for winter.

The only repairs needed are cleaning and colouring of walls.

Main Room

This measures 50 feet by 24 feet.

The stained and varnished work is good above dado, the lower portion needs touching up.

Transverse Building

This is the same size, but is subdivided by wooden partition into two rooms measuring 30 feet by 24 feet and 20 feet by 24 feet.

The walls here also need cleaning and colouring.

Offices

These comprise five water-closets of Duckett's automatic flush type. They are built up and approached by steps to secure a proper fall for drains. They are in good working order, as is also the urinal. These, with Barns, need whitening and repairs to walls and roofs.
