This building is part of a larger complex that served for many years as Marion Middle School. I believe it was originally part of the Buena Vista High School complex [I’m not sure if it was Buena Vista or Marion High School] and was likely built by the Works Progress Administration in the late 1930s or 1940s. If not a classroom building, it may have served as an office or other auxiliary purpose. I think it is still being used for adult education or a similar function.
Oops, somehow the link didn’t get on. I’ll try again. https://livingnewdeal.org/maps-and-sites/latest-sites/
Brian, I found this site quite by accident, but I’ve had fun–and gotten smarter!–using it. It’s a comprensive listing of all the New Deal programs. It could be helpful in looking things up. Beware! Once you go down the rabbit hole, it’s hard to leave it!
As always, I enjoy your discoveries in my hime state of Georgia.
I’ve used this site, as well, Carol. Thanks for reminding me. It seems that some of the data that used to be on it is no longer there. Perhaps they’re updating it.
