Description
According to the Federal Writers Project “Stadium built by WPA workers at Middleport High School is one of 80 stadiums either completed or under construction by WPA workers over the state.” The second high school was built in 1936, but it is unknown if it was also a WPA project.
The Middleport High School in Middleport, Ohio relocated in the 1990s and the building was reused for the Middleport Middle School until closed in 2003.
