I was out to the rolling hills of St. Catherine's (9 miles SW of Charlottetown - there's another St. Catherines up near Souris) late yesterday afternoon - here's the old schoolhouse located on the corner of St. Catherine's Road and Stutvoet Drive.
There's been a school here since 1865 (cf. Geographical Place Names of PEI). The building could be from this period as the roof pitch and narrow trim around the door and 6-over-6 window next to it are typical of the period.
my grandfather went to this school in the early 1900's and his family owned the land it was on.He was raised across the road from it. I miss him dearly. and I miss my Island home.
