Pembina School was a two-classroom structure built in 1883 at the corner of Osborne, Corydon, and McMillan, in the Fort Rouge area of Winnipeg. It was destroyed by fire on 16 March 1897 and construction of a replacement began the following year. The new school’s cornerstone was laid by David Wesley Bole at a ceremony on 31 August 1898. Inside it was the most recent copy of the Winnipeg School Board’s Annual Report, along with copies of local newspapers, a statement of costs from the contractors and the architect for the school, School Board bylaws, and a copy of the Manitoba Schools Act.
Named for British Prime Minister W. E. Gladstone, who had died in the year of its construction, the new Gladstone School was a three-storey brick structure designed by local architect J. H. G. Russell and constructed by Daniel David Wood. Enlarged in 1902, it served the community until mid-1962, when the building was demolished. It was replaced by the present two-storey Gladstone School on the opposite side of the original playground, facing Gertrude Street. It bears the namestone of the original school building on its exterior.
Among the noteworthy students who attended Gladstone School were Harry Aldous, Jack Aldous, Ralph Burchard, C. D. Campbell, Allan Hart, Ernest Hicks, Dr. Vernon Leach, Ewart Morgan, Charles Nash, Wallace Nicholson, Victor Tait, Norman Young, Arthur Webb, and Theodore Webb.
