Apparently the school board originally purchased land on Lyon Street near Holmdene Blvd which was subsequently sold to the Mayfair Corporation, perhaps where Mayfair Christian Reformed Church is now located. The board then purchased land on Lyon Street near Arthur Avenue to be closer to Diamond School which was subsequently closed.
