Description
WPA project description: “Improvement of the grounds surrounding this Martha’s Vineyard community’s new school provides a proper setting for the new structure completed recently by WPA workmen.
After carefully grading a little more than an acre around the school WPA men set out twelve fir trees which provide a pleasant frame for the new building.”
The location and status of these facilities is presently unknown to Living New Deal.
