Designed by local architect J. B. Mitchell, the school was named for nurse Florence Nightingale (1820-1910). It was built in 1920, by day labourers under supervision of the Sutherland Construction Company, at the northeast corner of Shaughnessy Street and Pritchard Avenue, near the shops of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the workplace for many of the fathers of its pupils. The one-storey, five-classroom structure was intended as the first part of an eventual 16-room school. By 1922, it accommodated 211 students under the guidance of five teachers.
In need of renovations that the Winnipeg School Board was unwilling to undertake, Florence Nightingale School closed in June 2002, at which time its enrollment was 125 students. Those students were transferred to Lord Nelson School or Shaughnessy Park School. The former school building was demolished in early 2003 and private residences were built on the site.
