McKay Avenue School

Last week Melody and I took the time to go and visit the McKay Avenue School Museum. This was the first brick schoolhouse built in Edmonton. It opened in 1904. It was named after Dr. William Morrison McKay.
This week I thought it would be fun to take everyone on a tour through the museum and travel back in time to see what things used to be like

[Gena Pegg]

Ah yes! The good ol days!!! Simpler days and issues! Great architecture!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Good start- I like the pov on this. It feels like we are about to walk up the steps and join you.

[Sheila]

Love the old brick buildings

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I really like the architecture. It's a beautiful looking building and a great shot.

[Anne Spiteri]

Sounds exciting....looking forward to it.

[Nancy]

Awesome building...really like all the arches and that brick red! :)

[bruni]

That sounds interesting. can't wait for more of your pictures. I guess you can't classify this school as the little red brick house. it's impressive looking.

[Taffy]

What a fun idea. I look forward to viewing the inside of the school.

[Harry J Benson]

nice architecture on the outside, it will be fun to see the inside

[Shirley Chetwynd]

What a fabulous building I like the arched entrance.

[Vicki Dixon]

a beautiful shot of a beautiful building. I prefer this older architecture

[Anita Campbell]

NICE! They don't have schools with this kind of architecture anymore. It's too bad! Reminds me of the junior high school building I attended classes in. And no elevators or disabled student consideration then either! Just lots of stairs.

[Raye]

Awesome architecture! Cool composition! Love the arches! Superb shot!

[Graham Thresher]

A really grand capture.

[Sian B]
