Description
Keene Central School was originally built in 1935-7 as a New Deal project. Its construction was enabled by the federal Public Works Administration (PWA), which provided a $134,000 loan and $63,053 grant, effectively covering the total $253,966 project cost. The building has since been expanded into a larger educational complex.
