Description
“The [1936] WPA-built red brick gymnasium built in Paoli appears neat and new.”
“Above the windows is a continuous row of standing brick. The entrance is slightly recessed, flanked by three-tiered brick columns which are topped with stone. Across this entrance is a course of stone, which is level with the standing brick across the front of the building. The double aluminum and glass entry doors have wood paneling above, painted blue, which reads “Paoli Gym 1936″.” (https://www.waymarking.com)
