Toronto
Weston-Pellam Park

Year Completed:

1914

OTHER IDENTIFICATION

Alternate Name:

Carleton Village Public School

Notes:

A two-storey brick school built by West Toronto Junction Public School Board was built on the site in 1889. It was later replaced by the Neoclassical Edwardian, three-storey school building in 1914. A swimming pool was added in 1919 and further additions in 1931. In 1989, the school merged with the nearby Osler Public School (now Carleton Village Junior and Senior Sports and Wellness Academy), with this building deemed as the South Building. In 2011, the building was converted to use as the Toronto Police Service 11 Division. The 1960s addition was demolished and replaced by a new addition for the police station. The original 1914 building was retained.
