Description
What is now the Virginia City Middle School was an educational facility constructed between April and September 1936 as part of a federal Public Works Administration (PWA) project. The building replaced the historic 1876 Fourth Ward School (now a museum).
The New Deal middle school has since been altered and features a newer addition to the original structure.
The PWA provided a grant of $14,727 for the school’s construction; the project cost $34,727 in all. (PWA Docket No. NV 1016)
