Completion Year: 1935

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built a shelter house at Pokagon State Park, Angola, Indiana, in 1935.  It was originally known as the Combination Shelter (for a concession stand and picnic shelter) and is now popularly known as the CCC Shelter House.   The two-story, stone-and-timber structure is built into the hillside overlooking the main beach. It contains two massive stone fireplaces, the one on the north with openings on two levels. The style of the CCC shelter house is classified as Parks Rustic.   In 1975, a commemorative plaque on a stone pedestal was dedicated to CCC Company 556, which did the construction....

Records indicate that Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) enrollees constructed six stone drinking fountains with gabled shelters around the park in 1935. Five remain. The drinking fountains are classified as Park Rustic. They are not marked; only two sites in the park are marked individually as CCC.   But the old gatehouse is now a CCC Pocket Museum with exhibits and the Nature Center has an exhibit that lists all the structures CCC enrollees worked on.

Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) enrollees completed the Potawatomi Inn bathhouse in 1935.  Records are sparse, so it is unclear whether CCC workers remodeled/completed a building begun by Civil Works Administration (CWA) in 1933-34, or the CCC constructed an entirely new bathhouse. The structure has been used to house boat rentals for several decades. The style is classified as Parks Rustic, although it is a very modest example. The bathhouse is not marked as CCC. But there is now a CCC Pocket Museum with exhibits in the old gatehouse and the Nature Center has an exhibit that lists all the structures CCC enrollees worked on.    

Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) enrollees at Pokagon State Park created a series of three fish rearing ponds, originally with dams between them, fed by an existing spring. They were completed in 1935 and used to assure Lake James would be well stocked with desirable fish. Many state parks in Indiana had such fish rearing ponds, most of them constructed by New Deal agencies.  With changes in conservation practices, the ponds were left to languish, but remnants are still visible in the winter months. The former ponds are not marked.  Only two sites in the park are marked individually as CCC; but the...

Originally known as the Saddle Barn, this building was completed in 1935 by CCC laborers. The style of the barn is classified as Parks Rustic. The barn was damaged during a tornado in 1974 and was later remodeled into a nature center.

Using a variety of native materials, the CCC built gatehouses designed to appeal to the eye and draw in visitors with hints of the delights of nature within the park. The south gatehouse at Clifty Falls was completed by CCC laborers in 1935. The style of the gatehouse is classified as Parks Rustic.

The since-demolished Douglass and Harrison Apartments was a housing project in Newark, New Jersey. According to the Federal Writers' Project, "Construction costs (approximately $1,800,000) were reduced through the help of the city and the Civil Works Administration in grading the entire site."

The original Newark Airport terminal building, then known as Building 1, was built in 1934-35 with New Deal funding.  Newark Airport holds a special place in aviation history, with the first paved runway and the first terminal that provided a designated place for passengers and a restaurant. It has been called, by one preservationist, "...the single most important and historic passenger facility in the world" and a model for all that followed. (Quote here) It is an Art Deco gem, the work of architect John Homlish (an extensive tour of the building and its details, with fine photographs, can be found...

The Works Progress Administration (WPA) helped to restore the the Staten Island Historical Society Museum, now part of Historic Richmond Town. New Deal efforts on this project likely began under a precursor agency to the WPA: the Civil Works Administration (CWA) or Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA). The Federal Writers' Project guide to New York City has this to say: "The Staten Island Historical Society Museum, opposite the old county courthouse at Court Place and Center Street, is housed in the old county clerk's and surrogate's office, a two-story brick structure of Colonial design, built in 1848 and restored in 1933-5 by...

The Recreation Center was completed by CCC laborers in 1935. The style of the Recreation Center is Parks Rustic.
