School Days

This building was built in 1909 as a temporary school until the Westmount school opened. Due to certain circumstances the Westmount school did not open until 1918.
In 1918 this building was moved to the Glenora neighborhood and served as the Glenora school from 1918 to 1940 when a new school was built.
This building went on to have a variety of uses over the years. The latest tenant was a church.
Today it sits vacant and is up for sale. It will most likely be torn down and sold as the land only to some developer

I wouldn't have guessed it was that old - looked quite modern - hate to think it will be torn down!

[KV]

The trees and building look nice with the snow... looks mighty cold though!

[Diana]

Lovely shot and tones, love all that snow.

[Dee L.]

I hope it doesn't get torn down. Would make for a nice museum, shop or even a nice home.

[Anne ❀]

looks like it has been cared for over the years. ready for another chapter to be written

[Bep]

It's already winter in Edmonton? Nice building, hope it doesn't get torn down...

[Ricksnap]

Nice tones and colours, and interesting narrative

[haskar]

Lovely snowy capture. We destroy such places too quickly. Well, but money rules.

[Cazzi]

Hopefully the building stays put and finds a new occupant. It doesn't look that old.

[GaryW]

Cool history and building!

[Paul]

Looks like a nice building that's in good shape. Shame that it will be torn down.

[Granagringa]

What a lovely angle you took this from.

[Margaret Brown]

We shot a winter wonderland. It’s nice to see that it’s still standing.

[Bill]

I just like the lines and colours. A lovely picture, very well taken.

[Pat Knowles]

What a shame as it looks a well maintained & attractive building.

[carol white]

A lovely building, shame it's no longer in use

[Jean]

kind of a waste

[Anja]

Nice winter scene, too bad it's no longer in use.

[Mags]

That's a lot of snow! Lovely capture!

[Kathy]

A nice looking building but given its age, I'm sure there are many things that need updating and repair, more expensive than razing the building and starting over.

[Nina Ganci]

Beautiful building and history

[gloria jones]

Great photo and history info

[Santina]

pity it is demolished, it still looks nice and reusable

[Laura]

Great P.O.V. Interesting history - I hope it doesn't get demolished.

[April]

For such an old building it looks very modern. It's a very attractive building and it would be a shame to tear it down.

[Leslie]

love all the history and so sad about maybe it's demolition

[Tunia McClure]

It looks like it has been added on to over the years.

[Judith Johnson]

What a lovely building and such a lot of snow already. U hope someone comes along to love this place.

[Islandgirl]

Oh you have a bit of snow.............makes for a great photo!

[Pyrrhula]

Great capture and nice history.

[eDorre]

Love how the trees frame the shot.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

My first thought was "You have a lot of snow already."

[Roger Waterhouse]

That's sad that it may be torn down. I like older buildings, so much character.

[Netkonnexion]

Now that is recycling for you! Great capture.

[Harry J Benson]

Nice architecture; hopefully, someone will buy it and repurpose it one more time

[Pat]

I also hope it gets a new life, it looks nice in this snowy scene.

[Margo Sayer]

What a splendid shot. Can't imagine snow...yet. We're still basking in an Indian Summer which started in March!

[Valerie Chesney]

Great shot! Such a 'life' this building has had & it still looks well maintained....Hope someone puts it to good use again.
