1922 – Former Manitoba School for the Deaf, Winnipeg, Canada

Replacing an earlier school on Portage Avenue, the Manitoba School for the Deaf an attractive example of Collegiate Gothic architecture. With its small 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.
