From the plaque: This large three-storey sandstone building was constructed in 1912 during Calgary's pre-First World War economic boom. It was built along with three other sandstone schools in Calgary that year, which were all designed by Hugh McClelland, the superintendent of school construction. Ihe school has served a variety of community functions throughout its history, including cadet training during the First World War and as a venue for community social events such as card games and dances. Notably, the school's first principal, William Aberhart, later served as Alberta's first Social Credit premier from 1935 to 1943.

King Edward School was constructed using rock-faced sandstone from the Oliver Brothers quarry, which was located near the modern-day intersection of Crowchild Trail S.W and 17th Avenue S.W. The classical design incorporates Doric columns at the front entrance and maple leaf panels on the exterior walls. The school originally included 19 classrooms, a large ground-floor auditorium and separate entrances for the boys and girls. Given structural cracking and safety concerns, the west wing of the school was partially dismantled in 1978, using much of the original sandstone in the reconstruction. The school was closed to students in 2001 due to declining enrolment in the area.
