Provincial Normal School Fire  

 

On May 5, 1929, a fire broke out on the lower floor of the Normal School. The cause of the fire is still unknown, but speculation at the time says that it was accidental. The entire building except for the annex and the stone facade, now the front of the Justice Building, was destroyed. The Normal School was rebuilt in the following years and reopened in December 1931.
