1922 – Former Manitoba School for the Deaf, Winnipeg, Canada
Architect: John D. Atchison
Replacing an earlier school on Portage Avenue, the Manitoba School for the Deaf an attractive example of Collegiate Gothic architecture. With its smaller scale, and warm-toned stonework, the entrance front is dominated by the square tower and stair turret.
Intended as a residential facility for the education of deaf students from across the prairie provinces, it has also been used for a variety of other purposes including a radio operator training centre during the Second World War. The site has been maintained continuously as a place of learning, including as a Normal School training teachers, and currently as part of the Canadian Mennonite University.
