The Head Teacher’s Residence is of local significance as a remnant of old town buildings to the east of the current centre, where many of the buildings including the old school, the hall etc, have been removed. The place has some historic significance for its role in the provision of education in the locale. The building remains intact and presents as an aesthetically pleasing residence.
Set in an elevated location at the eastern end of Nabawa, this timber framed weatherboard clad house is similar to the weatherboard teacher’s house in Nanson and is typical of Government housing from the turn of the century. The gable corrugated iron roof extends to cover the front verandah which is supported on timber posts and is part enclosed to the corner. A separate gable extends over a protruding room to the front elevation. The roof is punctuated by a red brick corbelled chimney. There is a timber post and wire mesh fence to the front boundary.
The third Nabawa school was located 25 metres from the Head Teacher’s house. Other teachers had to board with a private family or at the Mining Arms Hotel.
Integrity: High Original Fabric: Wall cladding Modifications: Partial verandah enclosures
