The NSW Schoolhouse Museum is one of the oldest surviving public school buildings in Sydney.  It was built in 1877 with additions in 1883 and 1910.  The 1877 and 1910 rooms have been fully restored to their original condition and are furnished with authentic desks and school furniture. In addition, a 1940s timber classroom has been furnished with original 1950s-1960s furniture.

The site is available for hire by commercial companies for film shoots. View photos of the interiors here.
