Description
The Works Progress Administration built the chapel at the Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford OK.
Contributor note:
“This WPA constructed chapel is located on N. State Street, south of the Old Science Building. This is a one-story native sandstone building with a steep gabled roof. The centered entrance is recessed beneath a cross gable, and is flanked by a set of double 6-over-6 double hung windows. The window placement is identical at the rear. A second entrance is located on the south side of the chapel. A large exterior stone chimney is located on the north side.
A WPA bronze shield is mounted on the projecting entrance bay. The chapel was later occupied as the campus health center in the 1908’s. A University office of some sort still occupies the building.”

Many happy memories studying Music Theory (I, II, III, and IV) in that building back in 1980-1.
