Description
Work: A Journal of Progress reported that the Works Progress Administration (WPA) had completed street resurfacing in the vicinity of 13th and G Streets NE in 1936. This would have been part of the nearly $1 million program of street repairs carried out by the WPA that year.
The work is likely still extant, but invisible beneath subsequent repavings.
