Custodial history

Scope and content

8525 - 101 Street.
Built at a cost of $180,000, King Edward School opened its doors to students on March 9, 1914. Originally, it had 17 classrooms, separate playrooms for boys and girls, separate rooms for manual training and domestic science, an automatic heat regulator, and shower baths. For the first time, the large assembly hall common to schools of this time, was built on the ground floor instead of the top floor, to accommodate its use as a social centre for the surrounding community.
Inside, the foyer features oak paneled walls, latticed windows and doors and a terrazzo floor leading to a marble stairway. Fifteen foot ceilings, wide hallways and oak mouldings and railings are found throughout.
King Edward School has a long list of distinguished alumni, but perhaps the shining moment in the school's history occurred during the Royal Visit of 1939 when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited the school.
