    Three tunnels were built by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) along the Feather River Highway in northeast California.  The tunnels were the final pieces in the construction of the Feather River highway (highway 70)  by the State of California (1928-37). The tunnels were blasted through solid granite in and around Grizzly Dome and some of the removed stone was used for rock safety walls along the highway north and south of the tunnels.  It is impossible to determine which walls were constructed by WPA workers and which might have been built earlier by California state highway workers.

    These two elaborate hanging light fixtures supply primary lighting to the large meeting room on the second floor of the Carmel firehouse, a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project.  They were produced separately by Otto Koehler as a project of the Monterey WPA's Federal Art Project (FAP). We believe they were hung as the building was completed in 1937. The light fixtures have a hexagonal shape, copper sides and top with a high relief of leaves. A white glass filters light to the floor.
