In 1912, a brick school building was designed by Winnipeg architect Eldred Dodsworth Tuttle for the Transcona School District. Its cornerstone was laid on 23 April 1913 by Minister of Education George R. Coldwell. Local notables in attendance at the large ceremony were Transcona Mayor Peter Watt, councillors, school board trustees, Transcona Board of Trade President A. A. Burning, MLA D. A. Ross, ex-Mayor C. J. E. Maxwell, and the eldest resident of the municipality, Reverend Philip Barker. During construction, it was decided to enlarge the building from a single to double storey at an additional cost of $35,000.
High school grades moved to Transcona Collegiate in 1956 (and later again to Transcona Collegiate Institute in 1961), at which point junior high grades were migrated to the former Collegiate and this building henceforth used for elementary grades. During this time, renovations were undertaken in 1958, upon plans by the architectural firm of Ward and Macdonald, and again in 1959. The school closed in 1995 and was later demolished.
