In March of 1919, students at Nutana Collegiate (called Saskatoon Collegiate Institute until 1923) announced they would establish a memorial for the 29 alumni soldiers who died in the First World War. Principal Alfred J. Pyke instead suggested creating a Memorial Art Gallery that consisted exclusively of paintings by Canadian artists. They purchased one painting by a different artist for each fallen soldier.

Fred Nicholas Loveroff's A Wood Interior was acquired in 1927 and dedicated to Private Henry Stanley Trout. Henry attended Saskatoon Collegiate Institute from 1915 to 1916. He enlisted on 16 August 1916 and was killed at Souchy on 19 February 1917.
