Oakridge Public School

Photos by Alan L Brown - September 2006

Here, on the south side of Danforth Avenue between Pharmacy and Warden Avenues, is what's left of the old Oakridge Public School. A 1993 City of Scarborough plaque embedded in the wall says this:

Oakridge Public School was built on this site in 1913 to replace the former one room school, S.S. No. 12, which had been gutted by fire. Two rooms were added in 1916 and four more rooms in 1922. As the population of the township of Scarborough continued to grow, a second building, consisting of six rooms, was built. This 1925 datestone was taken from the second building when both structures were demolished in 1967 and replaced by a modern school on Byng Avenue.

Does anyone remember a grade three teacher in 1953 in the east building?
