Description
Works Progress Administration (WPA) appears to have built a high school in Coleville, Mono County, California, in conjunction with the Antelope Union School District. A WPA project card indicates that the project was approved at a cost of $3,780. The card says:
“Located on the grounds of Antelope Union School, owned by the Antelope Union School Dist. Construction of a 3-room frame school building with concrete foundations and basement. 122′ long by 46′ wide including heating, plumbing, etc. Sponsor: Antelope Union School District.”
The present Coleville High School (pictured) is a larger, more modern building than that described on the WPA card, so apparently the WPA building has been replaced.
