In a classical, but less severe style than the main 1868 building, and set back slightly from it 2-storey facade of 5-bays, with deep plinth capped by cill string, rusticated quoins, string course to first floor, and cornice with plain parapet. 4-bays of windows, 12-pane casements with semi-circular deadlights set in shouldered keystoned architraves to ground floor; above shallower 12-pane sashes with radial semi-circular deadlights in shouldered architraves carried down below cills. Bay 5 has channelled pilasters framing a Doric doorpiece with panelled doors and a semi-circular fanlight chanelled arch over the entablature; above a semi-circular headed window with apron and bracketted open pedimented head, the whole crowned by an open segmental pediment incorporating tablet reading 'Baptist Schools 1912'. The words "Newnam Memorial" incised into string band over entrance doorway. The interior not inspected.
