General Currie School

General Currie School was named after General Sir Arthur Currie, the first commander of the Canadian Corps in World War I, and opened as a one- room school in 1919. Built in a Tudor style with Craftsman Influences it is the only protected heritage school in Richmond and is still in its original location.

The school was one of many built after World War I to serve a growing population with access to transportation. During its early years, the school was heated by a pot-bellied stove.
