Description
Several school construction projects in Murray, Utah were undertaken during the New Deal with the help of the Public Works Administration (PWA).
One was at the Liberty Elementary School, turning the basement into three new classrooms and constructing a kitchen and cafeteria. These improvements were completed in Fall 1939.
The school has since been replaced.

Per aerial imagery, the building appears to have been demolished concurrently with an expansion in the late 1960’s.
