Constructed at Portage Avenue and Sherbrook Street in two stages as a residential school for students. The Manitoba School for the Deaf vacated the building in 1914, and the property was reclaimed by the provincial government. The interior was remodeled in 1916 and converted for use as the Winnipeg Juvenile Court, Detention Home for Juveniles, and Detention Home School. Demolished in 1959.
