Educating Children Since 1881

This one room school was built in 1881 and served as Edmonton's first school for over 20 years.
Today it is located at the Edmonton Public School Archives and Museum. It is open to the public and many classes bring students here for field trips

So nice that they have preserved it for historical purposes. In Las Vegas they would have blown it up.

How nice that it still exists and that you can actually go inside and take a look around. It makes for an interesting image with the towering blocks behind it.
