An abandoned school that was built in 1915 has burned outside of Virden, Manitoba.


 

It happened yesterday morning, on Sunday September 24th, just a day after three buildings were also destroyed by a fire in the town. The three historic century-old buildings in Virden were a complete loss after a fire destroyed them Saturday morning.

The Manitoba Historical Society says the Two Creeks School hadn't been open since 1966, and it was bought by a private developer.

Wallace District Fire Department chief Brad Yochim says the brick building was levelled and it's unlikely a cause for the blaze will ever be determined.
