SASKATOON -- As Saskatoon Public Schools moves ahead with its plans to amalgamate three core neighbourhood schools, questions remain about the future of two of the schools in particular, due to their historic nature— with many in the community advocating for their preservation. King George and Pleasant Hill schools, constructed in 1912 and 1913 respectively, are classified as "castle schools." According to Saskatoon Heritage Society president Peggy Sarjeant, David Webster was the official public school board architect from 1911 to 1914 and designed all but two of the ten large schools built at the time. Webster designed the buildings in the "true" British tradition with solid brick and often a classic turret-top. Large hallways and wood floors were the norm.
