Lisgar Collegiate Institute
Lisgar Collegiate Institute, Heritage high school in downtown Ottawa, Canada
The grey limestone building features Gothic Revival architecture with pointed arches, buttresses, and a central crenulated tower on Lisgar Street.
Established in 1843 as a grammar school with 40 students, the institution moved to its current location in 1874 after Governor General Lord Dufferin opened it.
The school became one of the first in Ontario to admit female students in 1859 and later introduced the first gifted student program in the province.
The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board operates this secondary school Monday through Friday from 8:50 AM to 3:00 PM for grades 9 through 12.
Three major fires in 1893, 1915, and 1942 affected the building, yet the institution maintained its educational services and architectural character throughout these events.
