Description
The historic school building in Melrose, New Mexico—part of an educational campus which continues to house the community’s schools and district administrative offices—was constructed by the Work Projects Administration (W.P.A.) in 1942. A dedication plaque can be found at the west-of-building-center high school entrance along Missouri Avenue. The facility has since been extensively remodeled.
