Maple Leaf School

Address: 2165 - 223 Street

An increase in school enrolments in the Bellevue area prompted the erection of a new four room school in 1924. The Bellevue school built before 1912 had proved inadequate, and even though an extra four rooms were added to the school in 1919, the extra space was still not enough. The new four roomed school in Maple Leaf solved the problem. It is a large single storey wood frame building on a raised basement with a hip roof. The original stucco remains along with the central recessed entrance. The school was used until the 1960s when the M.D. McEachem School opened. It has subsequently served as a community hall.

Directions: Continue along 28 Avenue to Join 27 Avenue, entering Bellevue along 213 Street. Once known as Front Street, this is now the town's main street.
