OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:

St. Matthew Catholic School first opened its doors in 1922 in a renovated house accommodating 77 students. In 1926 part of the initial property was sold and the funds ($42,005) were used to build a brand new two-story, eight-room school.

By 1929, the student population had risen to 193, and by 1959 it had mushroomed to 563 students. Further population increases in subsequent years necessitated three other additions to the 1926 building: 13 additional classrooms in 1963, a small gymnasium and a kindergarten room in 1966, a large gymnasium and library in 1974.
