School and Residence, 1868, Queen Street
Built by Alexander Mitchell for the local school board patrons,
to a design supplied by the State Education Department. It was
described as a brick building with high gables, and decorative
fascia boards. In 1922 it became a private hospital, ahd then
eventually a private hotel, both institutions supervised by the
diminutive but assertive/Matron McMaugh. It is said that when
tourist busloads stayed overnight, the driver was accommodated in
the original mourge. Uralla's first swimming pool still remains to
the left of the building.
