Photograph of the old Bradford High School on Queen Street
Bradford West Gwillimbury Public Library
The Bradford Model School pictured was constructed in 1878 to replace a previous building destroyed by fire.
Mr. Frank Wood was the first principal in 1878.
It was established by Simcoe County Council for the training of teachers, and by 1907, 496 teachers were trained there.
Upon the discontinuance of Model training in Ontario, the building continued to be Bradford Public School until the new Bradford Public School was erected in 1951. The Model School was located east of the present school.
It consisted of three rooms downstairs, and two large ones upstairs. It was made of brick, and was heated by two coal furnaces.
The Bradford Presbyterian Church was opened in January, 1894. This picture was taken when the first trees planted had reached this height, around 1911-1915.
