Valeur patrimoniale
The Knutsford School is a well preserved example of a rural PEI school building. The first school in the Knutsford area existed in 1869 on land donated by William Silliker. Records indicate that by 1874 it was "unfit to teach in" and considerable agitation began for a new building. The current structure was erected sometime between 1875 and 1879. By 1909, alterations were made creating a two room building. Further additions of a central hallway, washrooms, and a concrete foundation were made in 1948. It operated as a school until consolidation in 1974. It is now used as a community centre.
