The Grant Count History Book (located at the Historic Adobe Museum in Ulysses, publish date unknown but probably 1970s-1980s?)) lists the major New Deal projects in the county, including “Construction of the first ‘civic center,’ the original gymnasium at the high school (now Kepley School).”
It appears the Kepley School building and gymnasium have been replaced since the history book was published.
