Fortitude Valley State School
Fortitude Valley State School, Educational heritage site in Fortitude Valley, Australia
The former state school at 95 Brookes Street features two brick buildings with Gothic Revival design, including a two-story structure and a single-story wing.
Benjamin Backhouse designed the first building in 1867 to accommodate 300 students, followed by Richard Suter's addition of the Boys School building in 1874.
The school buildings reflect the Lancastrian educational system principles, which organized large student groups under limited teacher supervision during the Victorian period.
The complex ceased operations as a primary school in 2013 due to low enrollment numbers but reopened in 2020 as Fortitude Valley State Secondary College.
The educational facility received heritage status in 1999, preserving architectural elements that demonstrate the evolution of Queensland's education system across three centuries.
