Condition
Good This building was originally constructed in 1920 as the Lesmurdie State School from a standard design prepared by the Public Works Department of WA. Tenders were called by the PWD in January 1920 and re-advertised in August 1920, presumably the school did not commence until late in the year. The builder has not been determined in current research. The school operated until 1965 when the new primary school was opened. The former school buildings were acquired by the Shire of Kalamunda and are now used for community functions. Currently the Guides Association occupies the hall the majority of the time
