Description
The Works Progress Administration (WPA) completed work at the Menard Elementary School in Menard. At the site, there are two WPA markers that contain the same information—”Works Progress Administration 1938-1940.” One of the structures is a school building and the other is a gymnasium; one plaque resides by the entrance to each.
There has been extensive modernization to the entrances and they now have a new metal roof. A rock wall surrounds the perimeter of the property, but there is no WPA marker on the wall.
