Historic Sites of Manitoba: Sinclair School No. 1051 (Sinclair, RM of Pipestone)Link to: The Sinclair School District was established formally in January 1900 at Sinclair in the Rural Municipality of Pipestone. In 1910, the original schoolhouse was replaced by a two-storey brick veneer structure designed by Brandon architect W. A. Elliott. The old school building was sold and moved to NW7-7-28W where it stood until 1979 when it was demolished. It became Sinclair Consolidated School No. 1051 in 1966. It was replaced by the present structure, now closed, that was built at a cost of $248,125 and opened officially in November 1976. A monument topped by the school bell stands next to the former school building that was converted into a manufacturing facility. The former building for Clover Hill School stands nearby. Principals
