Toowong State School

Toowong State School is an educational complex on Quinn Street with multiple buildings featuring high windows and roof ventilators designed for natural lighting and airflow. The structures show careful timber detailing that serves both functional and aesthetic purposes.

The original school opened in 1880 and relocated to its current location between Quinn and St Osyth Streets in 1910. This move marked a major expansion and modernization of school operations.

The school stands on traditional Turrbal lands and became a community learning center following European settlement in the area.

The site is easy to locate between Quinn and St Osyth Streets and displays its historic architecture clearly from street views. Visitors can observe the buildings from the perimeter and notice the design features of the complex.

The school is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register for its buildings featuring design elements that were considered advanced for educational facilities in the 1880s. The natural ventilation and lighting systems were innovative solutions for school buildings of that era.
