Old School in Penn Lane, Melbourne (1)

This building was believed first of all to be a Chapel, but it is in fact the former National School, according to a plaque above the door, founded in 1738, and rebuilt in 1822. There were, however, three Chapels on Penn Lane. The Quaker Chapel was demolished c.1987 to make way for a house extension; the original New Jerusalem Chapel is now part of Pennfield House, and the former Independent Chapel was converted into a house (Huntingdon House) in 1874.
