Richard Adams was architect to the School Board 1873-1886;
most of his designs were in brick but here the local stone was
used; his early single-storey buildings were in a Gothic
Revival style but from 1878 Adams used a Classical style for
the multi-storey schools on congested sites. A probable
influence for the change of style was George Corson's
Municipal and Board School Offices, Calverley Street,
1876-1884 (qv).
