Built circa 1927, this former one-room rural school house is the most intact of the three early twentieth century schools that remain in Pitt Meadows, and recalls early agricultural development, and subsequent population growth. The location close to the street illustrates a common rural development pattern, where small parcels of land were subdivided from large farms to facilitate the construction of local schools. Located to the north of the town centre, in an area that is still largely rural in nature, this school contributes to the historic small town character of Pitt Meadows with its large lot, mature trees and modest architecture.
The school’s design reflects educational guidelines set out by the provincial government. Typical of small rural schools, children of different ages were all taught in the same room. Representative of these standardized designs, this is a simple rectangular plan structure with a tall hipped roof.
