In 1905, the Winnipeg School Board purchased land bounded by Barratt Avenue and Clifton and Spruce streets. Three years later, it constructed a wood frame building housing four classrooms, based on a design by school architect J. B. Mitchell, at a total cost of $8,900. It was given the temporary name of Clifton School until a replacement building was erected during 1913, with its cornerstone laid in a ceremony on 25 July 1913. Also designed by Mitchell, and built by the Sutherland Construction Company, this three-and-a-half storey brick and stone structure, considered the largest school in Winnipeg, had 32 classrooms and a manual training room. It was capable of accommodating 1,344 students.

When Isaac Brock School, named for British army officer and colonial administrator Isaac Brock (1769-1812), opened in March 1914, the older frame building was sold and moved to a site on Dominion Street, adjacent to Sargent Park, where it was set on a stone foundation and completely renovated at a cost of $5,000. It was anticipated the building would be used for many years. However, it sat vacant for over three years and was badly burned in a fire on 15 May 1918.
