Description
Crispin Center was constructed with the assistance of the federal Works Progress Administration (WPA). “Crispin Center – with its large swimming pool, golf shop and Pine Room area – has changed little on the outside. Built in 1937-38 of natural sandstone, much of it quarried locally, the facility stands as a tribute to the quality of work in Depression-era projects.”
