Description
"In Placer County, several buildings and beautification projects were funded entirely or in part by the WPA. A June 24, 1939 article in the
Placer Herald noted several WPA projects in the region such as the City Hall and Firehouse building; thousands of feet of rock wall throughout town; the sidewalk, wall, and landscaping work at the Veterans Memorial Hall;
Placer Junior College (now Placer High School); a new addition to the Auburn Grammar School; the Placer Union High School Gymnasium; the new Auburn
Fairgrounds; and work at the Auburn Ski Club grounds in Cisco."
