• The place has historic value for its association with the first Greenmount Primary School which operated on this site from 1913 to the early 1960s. • The place has historic value for its association with the development of Greenmount in the early 20th century. • The place has historic and social value for its association with Darlington Theatre Players who have been providing entertainment to the community since 1956.
The brick school building which is incorporated into the complex which is the Marloo Theatre is a simple one room classroom of brick with a gabled roof. Evidence of the windows which were formerly along the long elevation can be seen in the contrasting brick used to fill the openings. On one elevation a former verandah has been enclosed with fibre cement sheeting.
Greenmount Primary School was established on this site in 1913. The first school was a rented premises and at the opening of the school attended by dignitaries it was stated that if numbers were maintained the Education Department would build a dedicated school building. This must have occurred as tenders were called by the Public Works Department in 1914 and in December of that year contractor J. Wallace was announced as the successful and lowest tenderer. The school continued to operate at this site until the early 1960s when the new school was opened on Innamincka Road. The first school building was largely unused on the site until 1984 when it was added to and adapted for the Darlington Theatre Players. The buildings have been the venue for the Darlington Theatre Players since then.
