Hillside Public School S.S. No. 4.

This 138 year old (as of 2010) school at 2259 Meadowvale Road has a plaque attached to the wall which gives this information:

A one room frame schoolhouse was erected in 1853 near the South-West corner of Kirkham's Rd. and Finch Ave. It became one of two free schools in 1855. A second schoolhouse was built 30 m east of the present site in 1872. It was moved to this site and bricked in 1904. A pioneer school for yesterday. A rural school for today.
