The building in Dunlap, NM served as a school (and church). The building is partially collapsed but the blackboard can be still found inside. I don’t know if this particular building was a WPA project or it was used as a school later on. I do have many photos of that building if needed.
Beata Certo is correct. The building was a WPA project and was in good shape until vandals destroyed the windows and doors. The building is adobe and has not long to live. I believe 1932 was once above the portal. The building replaced a much older board and bat school house, which I do have a picture of but have no idea what year it was taken or who the people are in the picture.
Reach out. Father J.C. Dunlap (James Charles) was born in ranch house in Dunlap. New Mexico.
The Dunlap school was WPA project with a WPA number 40009 with application date of 6/30/1939 and amount for the project $2615.89. The official Project Number was 65-1-85-11 for school construction
