Statement of Significance

The Nannup shire offices are significant because they incorporate the original Nannup
school dating from 1905 and the Ellis Creek School relocated to Nannup circa 1925.

Physical Description

The building has been refurbished to
meet the requirement of the Shire. The second classroom which was relocated from
Barabup has been demolished, however the classroom from Ellis Creek still exists and is used as the library. The original school buildings were constructed of weatherboard with corrugated iron roof sheeting typical of schoolroom constructed throughout the region's timber towns in the early 1900s. Their relocation and reuse is also typical pattern of use typical for timber framed school buildings throughout the region.

History

The Nannup Shire office was previously the Nannup Primary School which consisted of one classroom when it opened in 1905. The first Nannup school opened in September 1903 and was conducted in the Agricultural Hall until the school was built. Additional classrooms were added circa 1925 when the schools from Barrabup and Ellis Creek were relocated to Nannup. In 1930 a new brick school building was planned and the first classroom constructed, (present pre-primary centre) However the school was never completed.
In 1966 the Shire took over the school building.
