Description
Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works (FEAPW) workers built this elementary school together with the nearby Elim Elementary and the Lander Gym which was part of the Hilmar Union High School. The Merquin School was built in 1938, two years after the other projects, “as a special emergency public works project.”
