Tecumseh School

Designed by J.H. Bowman, and built from 1910-12. Consists of eight classrooms over two floors, with a concrete basement. The layout is similar to Selkirk, with a recessed arch entrance, saddleback roof and Palladian window. Tecumseh School was seismically upgraded in 1997 and retains heritage features such as the brick façade, exterior and interior building details and window design. New elements include the installation of an elevator, the expansion of the existing gym, re-configuration of the some of the classrooms, the multi-purpose space and internal circulation areas. Please check out the archival photographs in the Gallery section of this page.
