Description

Kutawa School District No. 477 is a Municipal Heritage Property located within the Rural Municipality of Mount Hope No. 279 approximately six kilometres northeast of the Village of Punnichy. The property features a one-storey, wood-frame school constructed in 1921.

Valeur patrimoniale

The heritage value of the Kutawa School District No. 477 lies in its association with the education of the early residents of the district. In 1898, ratepayers of the area established the Kutawa School District No. 477 and a small log school was constructed on the property in 1899. The log school was used for more than twenty years until 1921, when the district outgrew the building and constructed the designated property. Using a Waterman & Waterbury Company design, commonly used for schools across the province, the building continued to be used to educate local children until 1967 when it was closed. At the time of its closure, the Kutawa School was one of the last rural, one-room schools operating in the province. The school is still used to host many community events and remains an important landmark in the community.
