The Green

The Green
Another view from my new neighbourhood. The park is The Green. It seems not to be a municipal park, but I couldn't find out who is responsible for it. The building is the former Western Ontario Normal School (i. e., teachers' college), now the headquarters of the YMCA of Southwestern Ontario.

This photo shows the south or rear elevation of the building. The PiP at top left shows the front.

Yes, I was very impressed by that, too, David. It looks like a natural outgrowth rather than a modern piece that's just been tacked on. I don't know how appropriate it is for our climate, though.

Then the Abnormal School must have been alright!

I finally got round to finding out why they were called normal schools. Supposedly they taught the norms of pedagogy. So a training schools, I guess. Some of my teachers did still seem to have gone to abnormal school, though.
