The Starbuck Consolidated School District was organized in August 1909 as a result of consolidation of Holyrood School No. 391, Kinlough School No. 784, and Starbuck School No. 1150. The 10-acre school site bordering the Lasalle River in the Village of Starbuck, in the Rural Municipality of Macdonald, was purchased at a cost of $1,000. In 1910, a two-storey building, designed by Winnipeg architect E. D. Tuttle, was constructed of white bricks on a stone foundation. It featured four classrooms, two on each floor, as well as a laboratory, a room for “storage of chemical and physical apparatus”, and a library. Two playrooms were located in the basement, along with two lavatories, a forced-air furnace room, a coal storage room, and a storeroom. The total cost of construction was $17,000 acquired by the sale of old school property and the issue of debentures. It opened in mid-November 1910 under principal Andrew Moore. #ecole #school #starbuck #starbuck_school #école
