Description of Property – Lakeview Park School, 1239 Lakeshore Road East
Designed by architect Charles M. Hare, Lakeview Park School is a two-storey red brick structure built in 1923. Two wings were added to the original school in the mid-twentieth century. It is located on the north side of Lakeshore Road East, between Orchard Road and Fergus Avenue.
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value of Interest
The property has design and physical value because it is a rare surviving example of a Georgian Revival mixed with Edwardian architectural style institutional building in Mississauga. It is a rare surviving early twentieth century school in Mississauga and its longest running school. The school is of a design that was common amongst rural areas, and as such links a vibrant and growing area of Mississauga to its rural past. It also demonstrates artistic merit.
The original two-storey 1923 building is framed with later wings which are not considered to contribute to the heritage value of the property. The property has historical and associative value as it yields information about the growth of the area in the 20th century.
