Description
The Public Works Administration (PWA) funded construction of the Buena Vista Elementary School (now Bryant Elementary) in the 1930s. We believe that the New Deal building is still in place.
A record card for the project in the National Archives states that it included, “18 classrooms. A ‘health’ school. ‘Various ailments’ ‘Special type of design suitable for the status of children’s houses.’ Near Sunshine School and General Hospital.” (NARA)
More information is needed on this site.
The exact cost is unknown because this was one of a group of school projects in San Francisco for which the PWA laid out almost $3 million.
