Union-Steeet School.

In 1863, the Board established a second school in Dunedin for the accommodation of children resident in the northern parts of the town. A stone building was erected on a portion of what is now known as the Museum Reserve, and Mr. Alex. Stewart, the master of a private school at North Dunedin, was appointed to the headmastership, a position which he still retains. The original building was enlarged from time to time, but owing to the ever-increasing demand for accommodation, it was taken down in 1882, and the present large brick building, known as the Union-street School, was erected in its place.
