Elizabeth Ziegler Public School
Elizabeth Ziegler Public School, Gothic Revival school in Waterloo, Canada
Elizabeth Ziegler Public School is a three-story building designed in Gothic Revival style with carved entrances and wooden details throughout its interior spaces. The structure combines traditional architectural elements with classrooms and offices for daily school operations.
The school opened on September 2, 1931, with Ontario Premier G.S. Henry attending the inauguration ceremony. The opening took place during the Great Depression, highlighting the community's commitment to education despite economic hardship.
The building displays in its main office a portrait of Miss Lizzy Ziegler and her teaching certificate signed by Egerton Ryerson. These items tell the story of the school's founder and her role in local education.
The school operates on weekdays with nutrition breaks built into the school day schedule. Since it remains an active school building, visiting works best when classes are not in session.
The school has a gladiolus carved above its main entrance, the official flower of Waterloo. This detail connects the building's design directly to the city's local identity.
