Riverview School, Milton, Nova Scotia

Riverview School
The Riverview School was built in the 1950s and in December 1995 it was demolished. The school was used as an upgrading facility for many years and at one time a mobile building also sat on the property which was needed to accommodate the large numbers of people taking advantage of the programs that were available here. As enrollment declined the mobile building was removed and eventually the doors to the facility closed and the building became vacant. The Liverpool Food Bank used the building for a short time, providing food for less fortunate families in need. After the food bank left, the building was vacant once again and any attempts to put the building to some use failed so it was demolished. Daphne Ackerman was an instructor there for many years, She was also the owner/operator of the Ball & Skein in Liverpool for many years.

  3. Lots of memories, Mrs Tarr primary to Grade II and Mrs Farquhar Grades III-V. Town Lake area to the end of Tupper street attended. The two windows were coat rooms and the single windows where the teacher's kept supplies. Bathrooms in the bottom. Full windows in the back where we hung our artwork. I remember well Mrs Tarr standing at the top of the steps ringing her brass bell to call the kids to class. Wonderful memories!
