  • Jackson County Courthouse - Kansas City MO
    "On June 9, 1933, the Jackson County Court awarded a $2,073,609 contract to the Swenson Construction Company for construction of the Jackson County Courthouse.  The opulent Art Deco-style 300-foot tall building would reside alongside Kansas City's skyscrapers and provide much-needed space for the court system.  Equally important, its construction along with dozens of other projects completed as a part of Kansas City’s “Ten Year Plan” would provide jobs to hundreds of beleaguered Kansas City residents then suffering from the economic catastrophe of the Great Depression..."   (https://www.kclibrary.org) The courthouse was completed in 1934 with PWA support.  
  • R J Delano High School - Kansas City MO
    R. J. Delano High School was completed in 1939 with funds provided by the Public Works Administration (PWA), after a design by the architectural firm of Keen & Simpson. It is dominated by a tall tower with rock or concrete accents adjacent to the entry hallway. Above the entry is an inscription: “Let naught but happiness and contentment dwell within these portals”. Designed as a school for “handicapped” children, it had most recently been utilized as an alternative school, but recently closed and is for sale.
