Description

The Pinto River School is a Municipal Heritage Property located in the Rural Municipality of Auvergne No. 76, 14.5 kilometres south of the Village of Aneroid. The property features a wood-frame, one-room, country schoolhouse built in 1915.

Valeur patrimoniale

The Pinto River School is of heritage importance for its service to the community, primarily as a schoolhouse for Pinto River School District # 3281, from 1915 until 1958. During this time, the schoolhouse also served many additional roles, such as a community meeting place and place of worship. The interior, complete with blackboards, reflects its historic schoolhouse function. Upon its closure as a school, the local citizens maintained the structure for various community activities, most notably as the clubhouse for local 4-H events.

The property is also of heritage value for its architecture, making it a community landmark. On its original site of construction, the hip roofed, one-room schoolhouse retains its originals cladding, plan and sign, making it a familiar landmark in the area.
