The site became the Kingsgate Mall. The original phase of the school, a little red schoolhouse called False Creek School, was built two years after the incorporation of the City of Vancouver (whose city limits extended to the south to 16th Avenue) to promote the establishment of the neighbourhood of Mount Pleasant (which, at the time, was wilderness with the wagon road leading to New Westminster). The sixteen-room, two-level, brick school building (above) was constructed in two halves. The first phase was built in 1892-93 and the second in 1897.
