Description
Rock and brick building labeled Rochelle ISD has a WPA plaque which reads, “Work Projects Administration 1938-1940.” The adjacent rock building labeled “1935 Rochelle School Auditorium” looks typical of structures built by the WPA, but has no plaque attesting to WPA involvement. The rock wall around the school area does not have a marker.
