here still remember businesses like the Red Robin Café, the Davis Dairy, Frank Harrington’s jewellery store and others from those days. There was lots of residential, too, with people living above shops and in apartment blocks up and down the street. Saskatoon’s first schoolhouse was the Little Stone School, built on Broadway in 1887. A two-room brick school was added in 1905, and the present-day Victoria School in 1909. For a while, all three buildings stood there together. In 1911, the Little Stone School was moved onto the new University of Saskatchewan campus, making it Saskatoon’s first ever recognized heritage building. Victoria School, meanwhile, has been a focus of the Broadway community since the beginning, providing space for evening classes and community groups, and Photo: City of Saskatoon Archives – 1100-1737-002
