The George Rooks Family House 1213 - 3RD ST TEACHER- Mr. McLean
This School was built by Master Stone mason, Mr George Rooks, in 1899?
Article in picture above says 1892-1895 it was used.
This was Mr Rooks family home.
He also constructed the old stone Presbyterian Church on SW corner of 3rd st and 12th Ave
He Built them to last!
On a personal note- I went to school with his grandson, Robert Rooks

Again I found more articles that clarify this school, a bit more.

Sept 18, 1893
Mr. George Rooks is nearly done his stone building,
The Trustees have rented this for a School.
So now we know it was not used until 1893.
