Description
A former school building in St. Vrain, New Mexico was constructed as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project. A local resident informed ghost town photographer Beata Olszowka in 2017 that the structure in the featured image was the school gymnasium. The structure can be found west of Main Street, several hundred feet north of U.S. 60/84.
