Lyons Creek Elementary School
Spring 2021
002.jpg
Declining enrolment in the 1960s caused the Niagara District School Board to amalgamate the student body with FJ Rutland school in Chippawa. They continued to use Lyons Creek as a community centre until a bathroom fire damaged the interior badly enough to deem it not worth repairing. It closed in 1971 and the building and land were bought by a farmer who surrounded it with livestock pens and used the interior as a storage barn. This photo shows how it looked in the mid-70s. By time I started driving by it, the building was even surrounded by a vehicle junkyard and plenty of farm machinery.
