Physical Description
Very small single storey structure of timber framed construction with weatherboard cladding and a steep pitched roof clad in corrugated iron. The front elevation is dominated by three tall timber framed sash windows of 2-over-2 style. The roof is gabled in form with a lower sweep of the rear roof. The enclosed space incorporates a sash window matching the front windows whilst the rear section incorporates shallow high level windows. Further high level windows are inserted into the side (west) elevation.

Condition
Good This former school building was constructed in 1904 to a standard design provided by the Public Works Department of WA. The builder, F. W. Box constructed the school building for £300. The school was built following requests to the Education Department from the local residents. In a report in the local press in 1903 it was stated that 15 to 20 children were in need of schooling in addition to 'youths' who would gladly attend night school. In 1905, the teachers quarters was built adjacent to the school room by builder M. MacKesy for £226 18s 8d. This building was again designed by the Public Works Department. During World War One the name of the school was changed to Carmel School in accordance with the policy which saw the name of the settlement Heidelberg removed from the public records. The school operated until 1990 and since that time has been used as a community resource. Currently [2013] the place is used as a scout hall.
