Description
The original component of what is now Blain Elementary School was built in 1936 as a New Deal project: the Public Works Administration (PWA) provided a $18,090 grant for the project, whose total cost was $43,376.
Perry County Times: “[T]he most prominent building in Blain is the red brick school. It also stands out in the minds of many who attended Blain High School, Blain Junior High and Blain Elementary. The original brick building was built in 1936 and housed 12 grades for children in Blain Borough.”
