Historic Sites of Manitoba: Arondale School No. 1522 (1910-1967)

The Arondale School District was organized formally in March 1910 and a school building operated at this site in the Rural Municipality of Springfield. Around 1927, the original frame building was replaced by another one-storey wood frame structure. After the school closed around 1967, provincial government records indicate the building was renovated into a private residence. If the present structure at the site is that building, it is no longer recognizable as the former school.
