A three-storey brick and stone school building, measuring 78 feet by 146 feet, was designed by local architect James Bertram Mitchell and built in 1914 by the Claydon Brothers Construction Company on a parcel of land bounded by Manitoba and Magnus avenues, and Powers and Andrews streets. Commissioned by the Winnipeg School District, it was wonstructed at a cost of about $131,650, with the school’s name commemorating railway executive William Methven Whyte who had died earlier that year.

By 1922, over 900 students attended the school under the guidance of 23 teachers, over three-quarters of whom were the children of newly arrived Russian Jewish immigrants.

In 1976, a new school building was constructed on the site and a monument comprised of the former school's namestone and salvage bricks was erected along Powers Street.
