Description
Consisting of the Gladstone Infants and the Gladstone Primary schools, these buildings were built in 1899-1900 for the Cardiff School Board by E.W.M. Corbett, architect to the Bute Estate. The contractor was W. Thomas & Co of Cardiff. Corbett modified his design for Roath Park Board School of 1894, retaining the Queen-Anne style favoured by School Boards during the period, but adding assembly halls. They are built of red St Julian brick with Hartham Park Bath stone dressings and and have slate roofs with panelled brick stacks.
