First High School Hotel Institute and Its Long History
The article traces the 70-year history of the Hotel Institute in town, detailing its evolution from an early by law petition to a school under Rev. John at All Saints. It moved from Montreal Avenue to Pine Street, then to Orange Hall, later to an element of the current Soldiers' Memorial site, and finally to St. Paul Street premises. The school saw various principals and buildings, expanded to four classrooms, and grew attendance to hundreds, including many women from Ottawa and western regions.
