Description
A 1985 Oklahoma Landmark Inventory identifies the perimeter wall around parts of the Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College to be a Works Progress Administration (project), built in 1937-8:
The campus of Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College is partially encompassed by a WPA constructed rock fence. This double rock, 4 foot high and 18 inch thick fence is constructed of uncut and uncoursed native sandstone. It extends north to south some 150 feet, and east to west some 470 feet. Support piers with stone caps are situated on 49 foot centers; end columns have stone caps and are taller, up to the top of which the fence curves. After fifty years, there are few if any cracks in the structure.
