Architect of original Victoria School: Marshall Benjamin Aylesworth
Collingwood Central School, 1884; renamed Victoria School, 1911; demolished 1969

Architect of Annex: Francis William Bryan Architect
Four-room Romanesque Revival separate school added 1897 (later the Annex)

2024 Update: A new owner purchased the property. A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) and Heritage Conservation Plan, both prepared by Golder Associates Ltd., were submitted in support of the proposed development and peer reviewed by Su Murdoch Historical Consulting to the satisfaction of the Town. Per the Conditions of Draft Approval for the proposed Plan of Subdivision, the Owner has begun the construction of new homes surrounding the Annex. These will reflect the surrounding streetscape in a positive way. As per the site plan agreement, the eastern site line to the Annex building will be maintained. The footprint of the actual annex has been separated from the remaining property.

The redevelopment and restoration of the Annex building is a positive example of adaptive reuse. This project is providing more housing while conserving heritage.

2015: Annex added to the Municipal Heritage list. It changed ownership several times since, with the latest owner appealing heritage designation. He was not supported by LPAT and the town moved to Designate Dec 16, 2019.

2004: Simcoe County sold the Annex to private developers, ACO Collingwood defended the building from then on by supporting proposals for adaptive reuse and petitioning against demolition by neglect.
