Port Stanley School (1)

Port Stanley has had at least four elementary schools in the last
170 years. This one was built in 1908 at the south end of Francis
Street. Agnes Hepburn who taught there for many years tells us in her
monograph entitled “Historical Sketch of the Village of Port Stanley” that
the school shown on this postcard was on the same site as
Port Stanley’s first school, built in 1837. It had two classrooms and
a library downstairs and two classrooms and the
principal’s office upstairs.
