Description
The Cotton auditorium stands adjacent to the Fort Bragg Middle School (formerly Fort Bragg High School). It was completed in 1938 with Public Works Administration (PWA) funding and named after Principal Joel Cotton in 1939. It was restored in 2006.
The style of Cotton Auditorium, which is rather unusual for New Deal era civic structures, is typical of lumber towns like Fort Bragg in the redwood country of California’s North Coast.
