Description
The original funding was appropriated in 1931, before the beginning of the New Deal, but the beginning of construction was in 1933 close to the time that New Deal funds were being released to Arizona. Additionally, at the dedication, the governor’s secretary “made a plea to Arizona citizens for greater unity in support of the national and state recovery programs.”
