• Wow....I went to Mayfair School when I lived on Chandler Road. It was just south of Ypres fronting on Chandler. It was a small school there was an extension put on that doesn't appear in the picture it was up to grade 6 by the time I went there in the 60's It was a great little school and I spent a wonderful childhood there. Great teachers. We all went to Gordon McGregor when we left grade 6. They tore it down and made a park out of it in the 70's. I miss my neighbourhood school there is something to be said for those.

• I went to Mayfair School (1958-1962), grades 1-4. There was no kindergarten. My first teachers' name was Mrs. Hoy.
  Anyone remember?

• The Walkerville Times article referenced in an earlier comment states: "For school, she walked one mile to the Walker Road School, which had four rooms and went up to Grade 8. The high school, which she also walked to, was Mayfair High near Chrysler."

  However... Mayfair seems to be remembered as an elementary school by its alumni commenting here. Or were there two Mayfairs at one point?

• There's a neighbourhood conveniece store on Alexis (at Somme, maybe) call Mayfair Convenience. Maybe a namesake...

• When I attended Mayfair 1949-52 ( Grades 4-6)there was grade 8 offered then as my older sister was in Grade 8 . If it ever was a high school , it would have had to have been before the 40's . I later attended Walker School (6-8) and in those days, we took the city bus to attend city high schools.

  The poor girl who walked from Walker Farms to Mayfair would have had to go either to Pillette or Walker Roads to get there as there was no road in between. Not like now with Central crossing.

• i didn't atend Mayfair but had tons of friends who did it was located on the 2500 block of chandler road all thats left is the lot which is now a park

• shirley the poor girl you mentioned who lived at walker farms and attended mayfair would have had a long walk the most diect route waold have been down the pere marquette tracks to grand maria then over to chandler road tothe east but in inclimat weather it would have been a bitch

• I attended Mayfair from Sept. 1966 (Kindergarten) till Dec. 1969 when my family moved to the county. It was indeed located in the 2500 block of Chandler on the west side of the street, south of Somme and north of St.Julien, and the rear of the schoolyard could be entered on foot from Alexis. I recall the parking lot in the N.E. corner of the lot which is still there, and the sandpits along the north fence, as well as the backstop in the S.E. corner. I have some great memories from that school and neighbourhood, and never felt comfortable in my new school despite having gone there from Jan. 1970 till Jun. 1975. I always considered Mayfair my "real school" and never really got over leaving there until I ended up at Essex High School. I presently work at Chrysler Windsor Assembly and frequently drive through the neighbourhood. The variety store was called Mayfair Confectionery at the time, although it was not bricked then as it is now. Great days. Glad I stumbled across this.
