• Mount Pleasant High School - Providence RI
    The PWA built this school in Mount Pleasant. From the city archives: "In the fall of 1931, at the recommendation of Dunne and Reidy, the city borrowed $300,000 in anticipation of taxes for a system of work relief. This procedure was followed by Providence for the duration of the Depression, supplemented first by loans from the state and then by federal New Deal programs. Five new junior high schools, Mount Pleasant High School ... were among the many public works projects undertaken in Providence during the era in an attempt to combat unemployment."
