Description
The federal Works Progress Administration (WPA) conducted improvement and construction work at what was then the State School of Agriculture in Delhi, New York. The Catskill Mountain News wrote:
Improvements to the Delhi state school will include construction of a farm mechanics and shop building, poultry house, cattle barn and cottage. The milk house will be repaired and enlarged, and the exterior of the barn, administration building, shop and homemaking buildings and the interior of the administration building will be painted. The total cost of these improvements will be $42,216.95.
The institution now partly comprises SUNY Delhi.
