Description
Federal Public Works Administration Docket No. NY 2754 entailed the construction of two school buildings in Jamestown, New York: the new Jamestown High School and the Industrial Arts Building, which was located to the school’s southeast.
Modern imagery suggests that the Industrial Arts Building has since been demolished, perhaps during the process of expanding the facilities of the high school.
