The Manitou Normal School building in Manitou was designed by Winnipeg architect Walter Chesterton and erected in 1905 by contractor George Ullyot at a cost of $18,000. For 28 years, the facility was used to train public school teachers until it closed in 1933. Its building was then used as a high school in the Manitou Consolidated School District. It was demolished sometime in the 1990s and the site is now occupied by a hockey rink.
