Elbow Park School, built 1926.

The last of the grand sandstone schools were built in 1914, when WWI brought an abrupt end to Calgary's massive growth. However, the population was still growing, and kids were still in need of education in their communities.

In the years following the war, a handful of smaller scale schools were built to suit these needs. Sunnyside Bungalow School was (I believe) the first, built in 1919. Then came the four beloved bungalow schools all built in 1920 to the same plan in Riverside, Tuxedo Park, Glengarry (burned down in the 80s), and Mission. [Side note - mission's was built beneath a cliff, so it was called (Cliff) bungalow school. This was then rebracketed to (Cliff Bungalow) school, and the neighborhood took on the name Cliff Bungalow.] These schools were all intended to be converted into residential buildings once a proper school could be built.

It wasn't until 1926 that the city finally built more permanent schools - Elbow Park being the first, followed by Crescent Heights (1928), Western Canada Collegiate (1929, though this was an expansion to an existing school), and Rideau Park (1930, the last to be built for almost 20 years). All of these were built in the Tudor Revival style, though Elbow Park was the most ornate.

Unfortunately, this school's foundation was heavily damaged by the 2013 flood, and the decision was made to demolish and rebuild the school. They saved quite a bit of the original building, though, and incorporated it into the new building. They also built the new structure in the style of both the original 20s part and the 50s addition, using different bricks to signify it wasn't original.
