Statement of significance:


	The Greenwood Hotel is a rare and unique example of Gothic and Romanesque Revival styles and remains substantially intact from 1908. The earliest wing of the school was built to the design of architect George Mansfield, a prominent architect of the time, and is an exceptional example of his work. The other parts of the building demonstrate the work of another notable 19th century state school Architect William Kemp. The Greenwood Hotel was the first state school erected on the north shore of Port Jackson and was the first technical school on the north shore. The fact that the school was used continuously for educational purposes from 1877 to 1969 is of high significance and has created a strong cultural meaning to people in the area. The sandstone structure is now surrounded by open landscaping and urban development elements and the nearby towers are set away from the Greenwood Hotel. This space has become an important urban precinct for retailers, office workers and locals, and is well utilised as a pedestrian thoroughfare and a place to meet and relax. The two remaining Moreton Bay Fig trees retain the setting of the Greenwood Hotel and the landmark qualities of the area. The sandstone building is a scarcity of architectural type and is relatively intact. The age of the building relates to the predominant fabric of North Sydney and the building fabric itself demonstrates this historical significance. The school and its open setting with fig trees are landmarks of North Sydney and engender a high degree of public esteem in relation to its local and schooling history.

Construction years:	1876-1911
Physical description:	Curtilage boundary: South: One of the Moreton Bay fig trees (Ficus macrophylla) forming part of the curtilage dominates the Blue Street front of the curtilage, screens the school building from the street. Bus stop shelters further separate the school from Blue Street (ibid, 2008, 23). The Pacific Highway frontage of the site comprises a two storey facade of Greenwood Plaza (which can be accessed directly from the Pacific Highway), with the school behind on a higher level. The northern skylight of the plaza below is at this upper ground level of the school (ibid, 2008, 23). West: along the edge of the former school, facing Gas Lane the curtilage is about 4 metres into this laneway space (ibid, 2008, 28). On the eastern side of the former school, the curtilage is about 4m east of the school's facade (ibid, 2008, 29). On the northern side of the former school, the northern skylight structure of the Greenwood Plaza below is entirely within the SHR curtilage (ibid, 2008, 29).

History

Historical notes:

Prior to British colonisation in 1788, the lower north shore of Port Jackson (i.e. Terry Hills, Duffys Forest, Narrabeen, Dee Why, Curl Curl, Freshwater, Manly, Middle Cove, Lane Cove, North Sydney and Chatswood) was originally inhabited by the Gai-maraigal people.1 Six major family groups comprised the overall Gai-mariagal clan- the main three being Galmai, the Gatlay and the Gammeray. The land on which the former North Sydney Technical High School stands was occupied by the Gammeray people, recently referred to as Cammeraygal or Cammeraigal. The first fleet officer Collins noted that the Gammeray people were 'a stronger and more virile people than others living around the harbour as they were larger and more numerous:2. Collins also noted that it was the role of the Gammeray during initiation rites to remove the right front tooth of young men from neighbouring groups, a privilege believed now to be a reciprocal obligation with other groups who had ceremonial obligations with the Gammeray people (Tropman & Tropman, 2008, 6).

In April 1789 almost half of Sydney's Indigenous population died of smallpox. In 1790 Governor Phillip noted '...it is seldom that any of them are now seen near the settlement:3 Survivors of the smallpox epidemic regrouped in areas such as Broken Bay, Kissing Point (Ryde), Woolloomooloo, Le Perouse and Botany Bay. This regrouping of ancient clans and families involved social re-organisation and possible merging of dialects and culture. By 1830 records show that apart from a group camping in the government boatsheds west of Circular Quay, few people identified as Aboriginal were living in Sydney (ibid, 2008, 6).

School Site:
The school was originally St Peters Presbyterian School; located on Blues Point Road and part of the Presbyterian Church, but after talks in May 1874 ownership was transferred to the Council of Education as a state school. St Leonards' population was rapidly increasing at this time and the Council of Education recognised the need to establish a new school. So in November 1875 the council purchased 1-1/4 acres of land from Mrs. Isabella Atcheson for (Pounds)1,800.0.0. The land was seen very desirable due to its central location, sufficient space for playgrounds, and its 'fine views of the harbour' (ibid, 2008, 6).

After a year of discussion, plans for the new school were drawn by architect George Allan Mansfield, a leading architect at the time who had built many school buildings throughout Sydney in the 1870's and early 1880's. The plans included construction of a new Gothic Revival stone building to accommodate at least 100 children, adjoining small religious room, and also erection of a new teachers' residence with detached kitchen. The building was contracted to Mr. W. Jago for a period of ten months and was accepted by council February 1876. The school building was built of locally quarried Hawkesbury sandstone with dressed ashlar surround to all openings. The gabled roof featured ornamental bands of hexagonal shaped slates, carved finials, and detailed barge boards. The final cost of the school was (Pounds)4,700 reflecting the building's elaborate stone detailing and its importance to the community. In March 1877 St. Leonard's Public School opened with 320 boys, girls and infants. The building boasted a finely detailed bell tower, which was one of the earliest and most prominent landmarks of the lower North Shore visible from the city (ibid, 2008, 6).

The first addition was in 1882- as attendance had grown to 365; separate Girls' and Infants' departments were necessary. In 1883 the natural rocky grounds were asphalted. In 1884 Nimrod Greenwood was appointed headmaster and two years later the school was renamed St. Leonard's Superior State Public School. Then in 1890 the school was connected with gas, classrooms were completed for (Pounds)896.0.0., and technical classes commenced in shorthand, bookkeeping, drawing and building construction. In 1891 more land was resumed and the following year a new building was erected to enable an extra 180 pupils to be enrolled. This addition extended the main body of the building creating a northern court and complementing the massing as a whole. The resultant plan was broadly an 'H' shape (refer to Fig. 4). The addition was designed by schools architect William E. Kemp and detailing was of consistently high standard throughout with fine stone carving, detailed gable ends, and moulded timber columns and valence boards on the verandahs. By September 1892 there were a total of 820 pupils (ibid, 2008, 7).

In 1893 the Girls' Department was moved to the Presbyterian School to make more room for infant classrooms. To improve natural lighting in these rooms, windows were cut into the walls and glass partitions were installed. In addition to these changes, new fencing was erected, all wood and ironwork was repainted, and the flagging up on the south side beneath the verandah was replaced with new stone. The new buildings were officially opened in April that year by Mr P. Cullen, the chairman of St. Leonard's District school board, and the school was renamed St. Leonard's Superior Public Boys' School (ibid, 2008, 8).

In 1898 another new building was necessary to house 100 more boys. Additional land in Miller Street was purchased in 1900 and two years later a girls' block was built building costing (Pounds)3,300 and enabling the number of girls enrolled to be increased to 450. In 1908 the govemment architect W.L. Vemon* was contracted to make some alterations to the school.
. Three new doors in the west wall upstairs
. Two new doors to a wall downstairs
. Original front door built up
. All fireplaces bricked up except the southem fireplace
. Fireplace removed in original wing and replaced with two windows
. All verandahs to the north enclosed to form a corridor, hat room and teacher's room
. New folding partitions throughout the building
. Existing glass replaced with clear glass
. Removal of front verandah (south side) to enable more natural lighting into classrooms . Erection of an additional outside staircase (ibid, 2008, 8).

* Walter Liberty Vernon (1846-1914) was both architect and soldier. Born in England, he ran successful practices in Hastings and London and had estimable connections in artistic and architectural circles. In 1883 he had a recurrence of bronchitic asthma and was advised to leave the damp of England. He and his wife sailed to New South Wales. Before leaving, he gained a commission to build new premises for Messrs David Jones and Co., in Sydney's George Street. In 1890 he was appointed Government Architect - the first to hold that title - in the newly reorganised branch of the Public Works Department. He saw his role as building 'monuments to art'. His major buildings, such as the Art Gallery of New South Wales (1904-6) are large in scale, finely wrought in sandstone, and maintaining the classical tradition. Among others are the Mitchell Wing of the State Library, Fisher Library at the University of Sydney and Central Railway Station. He also added to a number of buildings designed by his predecessors, including Customs House, the GPO and Chief Secretary's Building - with changes which did not meet with the approval of his immediate predecessor, James Barnet who, nine years after his resignation, denounced Vernon's additions in an essay and documentation of his own works. In England, Vernon had delighted his clients with buildings in the fashionable Queen Anne style. In NSW, a number of British trained architects who were proponents of the Arts and Crafts style joined his office and under their influence, Vernon changed his approach to suburban projects. Buildings such as the Darlinghurst First Station (Federation Free style, 1910) took on the scale and character of their surroundings. Under Vernon's leadership, an impressive array of buildings was produced which were distinguished by interesting brickwork and careful climatic considerations, by shady verandahs, sheltered courtyards and provision for cross-flow ventilation. Examples are courthouses in Parkes (1904), Wellington (1912) and Bourke, Lands Offices in Dubbo (1897) and Orange (1904) and the Post Office in Wellington (1904)(Le Sueur, 2016, 7).

The following variations were made by John Brown in March 1911:
* Concrete lintels instead of arches to carry joists
. Lighter construction for uniformity
* Breaking openings in old cavity to ensure exclusion of damp
* Channelling old walls with two courses to support concrete floors (ibid, 2008, 9).

The school was renamed to North Sydney Public School in 1910, but it continued to be known unofficially as Greenwood's School after the very popular headmaster. In 1912, seventy two boys and seventy five girls enrolled as intermediate high school students, secondary classes commenced and North Sydney Intermediate High School was formed. The following year additions were made to the Miller Street building enabling North Sydney Junior Technical High school to function there as a demonstration and a commercial school (ibid, 2008, 9).

In 1914 much respected headmaster, Nimrod Greenwood, retired after 30 years service to the children of the district. Shortly after Greenwood's retirement the girls were transferred to the new North Sydney Girls' High School and in 1915 the senior boys were transferred to North Sydney Boys' High School. In 1920 the school was renamed North Sydney Boys' Intermediate High School (ibid, 2008, 9).

In 1936 with an enrolment of 703 pupils, the school was renamed North Sydney and Chatswood Junior High School. From 1943 the school was called North Sydney Technical High school and was home to another respected Headmaster- Mr John Ireland (1948 - 1954). Then in 1969 the school was closed and used as an Educational Resources Centre (ibid, 2008, 16).

Site sale and redevelopment:
During the 1970s the school was neglected by the NSW Education Department and regularly attacked by vandals. In March 1978 the Register of the National Estate listed the school and in 1980 Lend Lease won a tender to lease the site, but failed to win approval from planning authorities to erect a $100 million complex (ibid, 2008, 16).

The fate of the school was unsure until February 1987 when the state government announced the sale of the school and surrounding land. The government consulted North Sydney City Council and outlined that any development conform to the following restrictions:
- the original sandstone school building be retained;
- 60% of the site be kept as open space for a public plaza and setting for the school;
- three mature Moreton Bay fig trees be retained;
- provision for a pedestrian link to North Sydney Railway Station and across the Pacific Highway; and
- commercial office space limited to a floor space ratio of 3.5:1 (ibid, 2008, 16-17).

The Old Lions (the school's old boys' union), North Shore Historical Society and North Sydney City Council disputed the sale as they were concerned about the welfare of the former school. In June 1987 Heritage Minister Bob Carr responded by listing the school and surrounding property under the NSW Heritage Act with a Permanent Conservation Order, insuring the original building and three old Moreton Bay fig trees (Ficus macrophylla) would be conserved (ibid, 2008, 17).

The sale was managed by Raine and Home, North Sydney and tenders closed May 11th 1987. A total of fourteen companies responded and prices started from $33 million. The 1.08 hectare site was bought by Euro-National Properties Ply Ltd and Industrial Equity Ltd for a record $47.1 million. The winning proposal boasted a new 36 level landmark tower with red brown granite and bronze glass facade and polished granite lobby. The $400 million landmark complex would provide 40,000 sq.m. of commercial office space and 8000 sq.m. of retail space, include a day-care centre and parking for 497 cars. The scheme was designed by DGH International Pty Ltd with interior design by the Australian designers Rice Daubney Group. Developer John Tierney and partners Maurice and Tony Green (of The Green Hotel Corporation) were in charge of the restoration and conversion of the former school into a boutique pub/restaurant. Construction started in 1989 by Metroplaza Construction Ltd. (ibid, 2008, 19).

The most challenging aspect was excavating 145,000 square metres of sandstone around the footings of the former school building. This involved literally 'propping the school up' whilst burrowing underneath and reinforcing its foundations without damaging the structure. Wind tunnel tests were also carried out to assess any wind risks from the tower block and as a result all the school's old chimneys were reinforced with steel rods. (Note: It is recommended these be inspected for corrosion and impact on sandstone work.) The construction of the shopping plaza below ground level enabled direct access to adjacent areas such as the North Sydney Train Station, and Miller street and The Pacific Highway (both having a lower ground level than the school)(ibid, 2008, 20).

In November 1991 the project ran into financial difficulties and Industrial Equity Ltd liquidated its $500 million investment into the plaza and changed the contractor to Multiplex. In June 1992 Optus Communications agreed to lease the tower and paid for naming and signage rights to the building giving it a dominant position in the North Sydney Skyline. The change in building contractors paid off and the Plaza was completed ahead of schedule in October 1992. The Mirvac Group bought the site in 1994 (ibid, 2008, 22).

The Kemp-designed two storey brick school buildings facing Miller Street were demolished as part of the tower redevelopment. A 1980 photo (figure 16, ibid, 2008, 14) shows this building still facing Miller Street.

The original school building was adapted for use as a hotel c.1991.

In 1997 approvals were given to construct a childcare centre at the base of the adjacent Optus tower (Branch Report, 10/1997).

In 2017 the leasehold for the Greenwood Hotel was offered for sale by CBRE Hotels, on behalf of freehold owner MIrvac (Cummins, 2017).
