Streamlined Moderne was one term used to describe the style in which this school was fashioned. Designed by well known local architect Fred Willson, the Irving School was funded by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), with construction taking place in 1939. This was one of a trio of elementary schools - Irving, Longfellow and Hawthorne - designed by Willson in the typical streamlined Art Deco style of the day. Today the school serves 295 students in grades pre kindergarten to 5.

The peace pole is inscribed in four languages, English, Italian, Nishga (Nisg_a'a), a Canadian native language, and Urdu. They appear in order below.

May Peace Prevail On Earth
