Colourful wall at Sackville Street Public School.
Designed in 1887 by eminent Toronto architect W.G. Storm, this plain Victorian style school opened the same year with 49 students. Just a year later the school had already grown to 269 pupils, and it has continued in use right up to the present day. In fact, it's Toronto's oldest continuously functional school building. It survives today with most of its original architectural character still intact. Sackville Street Public School was declared a historical building by the Toronto Historical Board in 1977.
