Description
“Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal programs helped the community… Additional aid came when the Works Progress Administration provided funds that … supplied the labor for a new brick schoolhouse.”
Public Works Administration (P.W.A.) documents show that the school was constructed as a P.W.A. project, P.W.A. Docket No. WY [W]1028, with construction occurring in 1938.
Located south of the Sublette County Courthouse, the building served as a school from 1937[8?] to 1987. The building has since been demolished.
