This site between Flora and Stella avenues was the site for two Aberdeen schools. Named for John Campbell Gordon, the First Marquess of Aberdeen and Governor-General of Canada from 1893 to 1898, the first school was constructed in 1893 by Kelly Brothers on a design by architect George Browne, at a cost of $28,000. The brick structure consisted on eight classrooms and an assembly hall, to which six additional rooms were added in 1906. The first classes were held in the building on 11 December 1893.

In 1909, an additional two-storey brick building, containing 10 classrooms and a “manual training room,” was built at the site by contractors Brown and Barker. Designed by local school architect James Bertram Mitchell, the new school was valued at nearly $74,000. A third one-storey brick building was erected in 1920 on a design by John Nelson Semmens. Further additions occurred in 1954 and 1961, while the original 1893 structure was demolished. In 1988, a new two-storey school building was constructed at the northwest corner of Salter Street and Stella Avenue, and the old Aberdeen School building was abandoned, and later demolished.

Noteworthy alumni included Simon Abrahamson (Rhodes Scholar), John McLean, John Draper Perrin, Saul Alecs Miller, James Cattermole Berg, Ben Berck, John Martin Hawryluk, Sam Freedman, Bert Pearl, and Samuel Joshua Drache.
