History |
The Dixie Public School, or S.S. No. 1, refers to not one, but several Dixie schools beginning in 1816. This letter concerns the second Dixie Public School which was built in 1923 at 2520 Dixie Rd. near the south- west corner of Dixie Rd. and Dundas St. The brick school had four rooms, an auditorium and steam heating, as mentioned in this letter. Increasing suburbanization in the 1950s forced the old school to close its doors in the spring of 1960 and students were transferred into the new Dixie Road Public School. For a time the building was used as an office by the Ministry of Transportation, before being purchased in 1983 by Serbian Orthodox Church St. Sava. |
