| Summary: | The interior of a McGill Institute classroom. Constructed in 1896, McGill was a high school for Catholic boys. It was named after Arthur McGill, a shoe store owner who had left the money for the school's construction in his will. For more than fifty years, the school was located on Government Street. But because of overcrowding, it moved to Old Shell Road, where it currently is, and, in the 1970s changed its name to McGill-Toolen after combining its enrollment with that of Bishop Toolen High School. |
