Description
J. P. Elder Middle School Annex (originally part of the North Fort Worth High School), was one of the school district’s existing schools that received landscaping by the CWA/WPA during the New Deal. At this school, a lengthy sandstone retaining wall and a terrace were constructed by the CWA in 1935. The terrace included a fountain that had three cast stone lion heads. The landscape features were designed by Hare and Hare and constructed under the supervision of the city’s park department.
