School Days. 1881

So in a couple of weeks the school year will come to an end. So I decided this week to highlight some of Edmonton's older schools.
Starting with the first schoolhouse located outside of Fort Edmonton Trading Post.
This is the 1881 Edmonton Settlement Schoolhouse. Today it is part of the Edmonton Public School Board Museum and Archives.
I will try to back when it is open and try to take pictures

Neat that this old school building is so well preserved. I like that you included the water pump in your collage.

[Dorothy]

How nice it’s been preserved.

[Bill Davidson]

An interesting project

[eDorre]

What a neat series and a grand start

[Lynda Parker]

What a beautiful building and I love how well it's been cared for.

Lovely shots and especially of the cute school house.

Lovely collage😊

Lovely shots.

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful. Do you remember how excitred you were for summer break when you were young. Now it means the beaches and other places will be crowded. :)

[Bucktree]

Interesting collage.

[Thom Mitchell]

I really enjoy these old school or class photos. The people have long since passed on, but I wonder how the stories of their lives unfolded…

[Merrelyn]

It's a lovely little building.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great looking collage.

[Agnes]

Lovely collage and a lovely little school.

[Fisher Family]

A lovely collage of this interesting old school! You made me think about the schools I went to (not as old as this one I add) and the only part of a school that I went to that survives is the hall of the school I went to from age 11 to 18, the rest of it having been replaced with new buildings a few years ago. The hall survived because it was a more recent building than the rest, and was well equiped for use as a theatre.

Quite a contrast between the old school building and more modern high rise behind.

[Islandgirl]

Interesting collage!

[Heather]

A great collage, Brian! Fascinating to see the little schoolhouse with the modern apartment building in the background! And that water pump! Wow! Fav

[Jerzy]

Boy you had to work to get the water going to wash. Great capture and history.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Such humble beginnings for a very important part of a child's life. Nice collage.

[Mags]

It's so nice that it's been kept up. A lovely bit of history.
