11.
Napinka School District # 829
( 1884 – 1975)
Manitoba Municipal Heritage Site No. 104
Imposing in presence and materiality, Napinka School is a rare example
in Manitoba of an early school based on a two-room plan and constructed
of fieldstone rather than the more common wooden frame and walls. The
building, one of the last remaining schools from ca. 1900 in Manitoba’s
southwest corner, was developed using local materials and the skills of
local labour, notably stonemason I.J. Phinney, who undertook much of
the work.
The first school was situated on NW 20-4-25. The stone school was built
in ca. 1900.
