Description
The Works Progress Administration built the Karnes City School Building in 1938-1940. On the SE corner of E Mayfield St & N Browne St is a beige brick, one-story building. It is surrounded by new buildings and it is part of Roger E. Sides Elementary School. It is unclear if the building is still used for instruction. It has a metal plaque to the right of the front door that reads “Work Projects Administration 1938-1940”.
