Designed by architect James Bertram Mitchell and built between 1912 and 1913 by contractor Sveinn Brynjolfsson, Principal Sparling School is named for educator Joseph Walter Sparling. The two-storey, 19-classroom building was occupied by eight teachers and 200 students after its official opening in August 1913. Within a decade, enrolment from the school’s ethnically mixed, middle-income neighbourhood had quadrupled. Still in operation as a school, the building is a municipally-designated historic site.
