The Calgary Board of Education awarded the contract to builder J.A. McPhail for $17,500. It was designed by Toronto-based architects Ellis and Connery.
The building served as a school until 1977, when it was converted into offices, and in the late 1980s, it was sold and turned into condominiums. In 1993, it was converted into four exclusive residences.
