It’s Wayback Wednesday, sponsored by Jamie Lockwood, broker/owner of Sutton Group Muskoka Realty!
Huntsville High and Public School, facing north, was located at the corner of Caroline and Centre Streets, Huntsville, Ontario, circ 1918. (Muskoka Digital Archives).
The school was designed by William Proudfoot and built by W.G. Hunt. This 12-room brick building which opened on May 8th, 1905 cost $15,000 to build. Alfred Bernath was the first Principal.
The building was demolished in May 1967. All that remains today is the bell and the bell tower, which sits at the entrance of Muskoka Heritage Place on Brunel Road. The current Huntsville Public School playground is where this building once stood.
