In 1877, this site, bounded by William and Bannatyne avenues, and Ellen and Gertie streets, was purchased for $5,000 from A. G. B. Bannatyne and Joseph LeConte. The school built on it was described as “away out on the prairie” because it was thought to be so far from the centre of Winnipeg. Yet, it became known as Central School, and eventually Central School No. 1 when, between 1882 and 1883, a second school designed by Winnipeg architect James Chisholm and known as Central School No. 2 was built nearby. Boys attended Central School No. 1 so it was sometimes called the Boys’ Central School, while the other was the Girls’ Central School. The school names became even more confusing with the construction of South Central School (later known as Carlton Street) and North Central School (later Norquay School) in other parts of the city.
Central School No. 1 was extensively renovated between 1877 and 1898, being first enlarged in 1881, and having a central heating plant installed in 1889 (replacing inadequate stoves that had been installed in each classroom). In 1898, it was replaced by a new structure, built at a cost of $17,000, that could accommodate up to 500 students with a staff of 12 teachers. At that time, the school was formally renamed Victoria School, and Central School No. 2 became Albert School, the names commemorating the reigning monarch Queen Victoria and her consort, Prince Albert.
Victoria School was destroyed by fire on 13 March 1930 and, later that year, a new two-storey brick building was constructed on its site, supervised by William Anderson Martin. Named Victoria-Albert School, it was designed to accommodate 800 students. When it opened in early November 1930, the old Albert School building stopped being used for classes, and was instead used for repairing desk and storing equipment. It was later demolished.
