Description du lieu patrimonial
Located near the highway, this former one-room school house is a one storey building with wooden shingles and a gable roof. A series of three rectangular windows are located on the south facade and four on the west facade. A slightly hipped roof porch extends across the east elevation.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Brudenell Community Centre is valued as an example of a former one-room rural school house in Prince Edward Island and for its importance to the community of Brudenell.
The Lake Map of PEI indicates that a school was on this site as early as 1869. This was located on property then owned by D. Stewart. Eventually, this building became too small to accommodate all of the students and the current building was constructed. For a period of time, the children used to walk between the two schools for their classes, until the older building was eventually torn down.
School consolidation in 1972 led to this school closing. The Trustees of the Montague Consolidated School District then turned the building over to the Community Improvement Committee who have used it as a community hall ever since. A large sign is displayed on the exterior of the building listing the names of the many teachers who taught at the Brudenell School. The interior still features the blackboard and teacher's desk at the front of the room.
One of the more prominent graduates of the school was Dr. Malcolm B. Dockerty, a medical pathologist who once worked at the Mayo Clinic.
