Description du lieu patrimonial
The Manual Training School is a one-storey front-gabled Craftsman-inspired structure. It is located on the south side of 47A Avenue in Ladner village within a grouping of buildings of similar age. Originally located in Richmond, the School was relocated to Ladner in 1992.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Manual Training School is a typical example of an early twentieth century educational building and serves as an outstanding physical reminder of the community importance of education. Originally located in Richmond, the Manual Training School is a standard one-room design provided by the Provincial Department of Public Works, which facilitated the growth of the educational system in rural communities. This practical and functional design was easy and inexpensive to execute and was notable for its boxy form. Typical of mandated school policy, the windows are banked along one side to allow natural light but left sufficient wall space on the other side for educational purposes. Built in 1908 as the larger of two annexes to Bridgeport School, located at 8700 Bridgeport Road, the school, like many DPW designs, displays the influence of the popular Arts and Crafts style, giving the structure a residential appearance. This building was relocated to Ladner in 1992, after the main Bridgeport School was closed and demolished.
