School Days....H A Gray

H.A. Gray School was built in 1913 by the Edmonton Public School Board. My wife attended school here in grades 4 and 5. Of interest is the seperate entrances for boys and girls.
After the scool closed it was purchased by NAIT (Northern Alberta Institue of Technology) whose main campus is just a few blocks away.
Today it is home to Vangaurd Theological College. Of a sidenote, my wife and I bother graduated from Vangaurd. Although it was located in a different spot when we attended.
I love the brick work and the lighting in this shot. I took this shortly after 7:00 am on my way to work

@palusami Around the time this one was built there were many other built and they used the same type of architecture. As a result we have a number of school buildings like this in Edmonton
