OTHER IDENTIFICATION

Alternate Name:

Shirley Street Public School

Notes:

The original school was built in c.1881-3 and was a two-room brick school on what was then known as Mabel Street in the village of Brockton. The school became part of the Toronto school system with the annexation of the village on March 25, 1884. In 1892, the Board decided to build a four-room school to replace the Mabel Street School. As the name of the street had been changed, the new school was named Shirley Street School. This building was opened in 1893, with an enrolment of 127 students. Additions were erected in 1894 (presumably by Charles H. Bishop) and 1914. The building was demolished in the fall of 1962, and building for the present (2008) building began in November 1961. The cornerstone was laid May 18, 1962, and the school was occupied by pupils on September 4, 1962.
