This is a postcard of the Band Room on Caroline Street in 1918. In the lower-left background, is the Anglo-Canadian Leather Company. Left foreground, the fire hall which was moved in 1905 from in front of the new public school building. On the right, the new brick public school was built in 1905.<\/p>\n\n\n

This school was known as Central School and later as the “White School”. The wood frame building with a stone foundation, was built in 1888 by Fred Francis at a cost of $3,995. In 1886 a School Board had been formed made up of F.W. Clearwater, J. Matthews, H.S. May, J.R. Reece and R. Scarlett, with Mr. Reece as Chairman. They purchased a two-acre parcel of land on Centre Street from Allan Shay for $500 and took steps to build a frame building to accommodate 250 scholars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1905 a new school was built to the east of this building. It was designed by William Proudfoot and built by W.G. Hunt. C.O. Shaw, who also owned Bigwin Inn on Lake of Bays, purchased this original school building in 1908 for $1000. Until 1915 it was used to house employees of the Anglo-Canadian Leather Company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1915 it became the practise hall and clubhouse for the members of the Anglo-Canadian Leather Company Band. The band was world-renowned as C.O. Shaw was able to attract the best musicians from all over North America. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board of Education purchased the building back again in 1929, for $3000, when the 1905 brick school was getting overcrowded. It was used for grades one and two. The building was later purchased by the Rotary Club of Huntsville for the Muskoka Museum which opened in July 1958. The Museum moved to 31 acres of land adjoining Memorial Park in 1967, after the building was demolished in 1966 to build the new Huntsville Public School. This postcard shows a very nice school but for most of its life, it was in disrepair. (From Muskoka Digital Archives)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
