Students in this area of Winnipeg began to attend classes at Riverview School, initially held within temporary rented quarters at Riverview Presbyterian Church. That first venue opened to pupils on 19 March 1906 and closed when the Winnipeg School District opened a new dedicated school facility.
In 1908, the District purchased a plot of land bounded by Casey and Fisher streets, and Bartlett and Maplewood avenues, and commissioned contractor Sinclair Balsor Ritchie to build a two-storey frame structure on it later that year, at the corner of Casey and Maplewood, on a design by architect James Bertram Mitchell. It contained four classrooms and accommodated 196 students when this site was opened on 10 November 1908.
Ten years later, a one-storey annex with eight-classrooms were added. By 1922, the school’s enrollment was risen to 495 students. The present two-storey brick structure was built in 1929 under the supervision of William Anderson Martin and, for a time, the original two-storey frame structure remained in front of it. An addition was constructed in 1952 at a cost of about $110,000.
